    About this audiobook

    What is French for falling in love?

    When Del leaves small town America to compete in a perfume competition in Paris, she thinks it is just the next step on her five-year-plan. It’s an exciting opportunity. What started out as just a dream for Del and her twin sister is nearly in her grasp. If she wins this competition, they are on their way to opening their very own perfume boutique!

    Arriving in Paris, watching the sun glinting off the Seine and wandering the Champs-Elysees, Del discovers the most perfect perfumery she’s ever seen. Yet, as the competition dawns Del realises that whilst she might have had the best nose in her small village, her competitors seem to know more than she could ever have dreamed. This competition isn’t going to be easy…

    Del has the romance of Paris to sweep her away from her worries, but as the competition heats up, so does her desire for that which she cannot have! If only the dashing owner Sébastien didn’t smell so seductive, look so handsome and make her heart flutter like it never has before. They say love smells as sweet as a red rose in bloom, but Del would tell anyone that true love can’t be bottled – it’s beautiful and unique to everyone…even herself. With everything on the line for her future, can Del really let a little attraction get in the way of securing her dreams?

      “Compose the perfect perfume and it will live on like a song, forever.” (Quotation pos. 2765)

      Content:
      Del Jameson has learnt how to create perfumes from her Nan. She had applied for the Leclére Parfumerie competition, was chosen and invited to Paris where the competition takes place. Her mentor is Sebastien, the son of the deceased patriarch Vincent. During the competition, Del has to blend a dream and she is thinking about her dream to own a small perfume shop in New York, but as it comes out, instead of NYC she has created Paris. Would she be able to follow her dreams, but be open to changes?

      Theme and genre:
      This romantic novel tells us about flowers, scents and how to imbottle feelings into perfumes. It is also about self-confidence, following a dream and about family.

      Plot, characters and writing:
      The story is told by Del, the main protagonist, who has to trust herself to create perfect fragrances as asked during the competition. She is lovable and is kind of a perfume whisperer, but still is missing self-confidence when it comes to her own plans and her own life.
      The writing style is fluent, paints sparkling pictures of Paris and the Provence and creates magical scents.

      Conclusion:
      A romantic read about the magic of creating perfumes in Paris, the city of love. Perfect for sleepless nights and delightful reading afternoons.
