Just got this book. Nicely organized and well-written. Chapman seems to have a lot of knowledge and a good nose. Short blurbs on each scent, much like Turin's books. Not really dedicated to finding one's signature scent as far as I can tell, which as I have said previously, I think is a futile task. Lots of interesting tidbits of information I had never read before. For instance, says Caron Yatagan was a part of 70's leatherman culture. I own but do not much wear Yatagan. I am not sure this information would affect my wearing it or not. It might affect where I wore it!

Ever since some joker referred to Yatagan's "bongwater note," it's ruined my perception of that cologne ...

Ha, I like that. Seems right enough to me. Not an easy scent. One I probably appreciate and respect more than one I would ever wear. I think I would day that about most Caron scents for men, although I do not think the others are nearly as controversial or unusual.
