It takes an effort to think of a scene or person and match it with a single scent. But catch even the slightest whiff of a poignant smell, and you'll be flooded with memories and associations so vivid you can almost taste them. A Mother's Bouquet pairs that chemistry and emotion with a charming collection of stories, factoids, literary excerpts, recipes, and quotes about mothers and grandmothers - all with an olfactory glow. Readers will revel in the evocative fragrance of the four scent patches scattered throughout this book - apple pie, talcum powder, gardenias, a perfume. These universally appealing maternal aromas enhance the sensual text and whimsical illustrations for a winning combination of warmth and nostalgia. Also included are mouthwatering recipes for comfort food favorites, from Mom's chicken soup to chocolate chip cookies, and quotes from literary sources such as Rebecca Well's Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. "The scents of a mother - from her face cream to her favorite flower - envelop us from the moment we leave the womb; reassure us as children; bring us back to a safe, warm place whenever we catch a whiff of Chanel Number 5, marinara sauce, cheap white wine, lavender, expensive wool, or whatever scents evoke our own moms," reads the text. Mmmmm, Mother!
