By    15:35 // No comments


“A good fragrance is really a powerful cocktail of memories and emotion.”

----Jeffrey Stepakoff, an American author 



My Rating: 4 out 5 stars


Gabriella Contestabile, an Italian author, pens her debut novel, The Artisan's Star that is a cleverly woven travelogue inside a story about a perfume-maker and the women and their fragrance surrounding his life.
Synopsis:

Elio Barati’s perfumery shop in Florence marks its entrance with a mosaic star. This shop immerses Elio in the artisanal world he loves, but he harbors a regret. As a young man he created a full-fledged perfume of jasmine, iris, and cypress at the renowned Ecole des Parfumeurs in Grasse—a fragrance his idealism and stubbornness boxed away before ever bringing it to light.
A second star now brightens Elio’s life, his daughter Romina, an artist. She has her father’s unrealized talent, a precise and intuitive sense of smell. She’s also inherited more challenging traits of Elio’s: unbridled ambition and an insatiable wonder for the world.
