I absolutely loved reading this (as I did your other books). I also love that you give some insight at the end. So I had to look up what a perfume organ looked like and found out that LilaNur parfums came out with a discovery set called The Perfumist of Paris. I can't order it, since I'm not in the US but it made the book more than come alive for me. Thank you for writing this for us?

Dear Ivonne,
And I loved hearing from you! Thanks for writing. I so enjoyed the research for The Perfumist of Paris, traveling to NYC, Paris, Grasse and Lisbon. Everywhere, the boutique perfumeries are booming. And more and more women are creating their own lines, which is HUGE considering that in Radha’s time, 1974, very few women went out on their own. I hope you’ll keep you eye out for the next novel loosely based on the Indian Freida Kahlo, Amrita Sher-Gil. Until then, xoxoxo

I loved your trilogy and can't wait to dive into Six Days in Bombay! My husband is Indian, and your books have been such a wonderful window into the culture, language, and — of course — the food. I've even saved a few recipes to surprise him! Now, I'm eager to explore more of India's history. Do you have any book recommendations that offer a deeper insight? I'd love suggestions for fiction and non-fiction books!
