        			The book&apos;s heroes are Marie Antoinette, Perfume and Fargeon in that order, but what emerges is a powerful evocation of a lost world. --Erica Wagner, The TimesFeydeau&apos;s descriptions of Versailles Palace&apos;s obsessions with coiffure, fashion, perfume and cosmetics are alluring. --Sam Leith, Daily TelegraphA sparely written and subtly distilled life. Fargeon&apos;s impressions of Marie Antoinette are particularly compelling, in part because of their intimacy and his keen senses, but in part because he is a witness who, despite a vocation that depended almost entirely on an aristocratic clientele, believed ardently in the ideals of the Revolution. --Judith Thurman, The New Yorker
