A current story line and a historical line that takes very far back in 1573 as the art of perfume still has some magic to it. Rene is a perfumer from the court of Catherine de Medici and she asks him to create perfumes for herself and some other concoctions for her to keep her place in the court. At the same time Jac is a woman who has felt stories from people in the past and is newly mourning the mysterious death of her brother who was a perfumer trying to finish Rene's work.
This book bounced from the past to the present, but with fantastic editing it was easy to know what time and where the story was taking place. Both stories are woven from the very beginning which I appreciated because there was enough mystery within the story. The way the stories getting really woven in the end were seamless and fantastic - I loved it.
