Farewell Caution, Part 2
Farewell Caution, Part 3
2. "What I Chose" is a coming of age story about the first time I chose a perfume for myself—and my first lover. It is in two parts:
Choosing Myself, Part 1
Choosing Myself, Part 2
3. How Doris Lessing Was Indirectly Responsible For My Signature Fragrance is the story of a woman I knew as an adolescent who gave me my first bottle of French perfume.
4. The Wife is story of a woman I knew as a child whose perfume utterly fascinated me. It turned out she was not quite who I thought she was.
5. Five Stars is a reflection on my relationship with my mother and how she bought some of my very favorite perfumes for herself to wear.
