Ken and Bobbye met on the beach at Waikiki. Ken was a Marine fighter pilot and Bobbye was a teacher from Tennessee working on her masters in Theater. They chatted for the longest time, then they swam together, surfed, and snacked. Later they formally dined at a leading restaurant, then went on to dance to the Glenn Miller Orchestra in one of the hotel's grand ballrooms.Finally, they walked the beach to her uncle's home where, from his garden they savored the beautiful night view as far as Diamond-Head on the edge of the Pacific. The sky overhead was so much like Van Gogh's Starry Night, and being a man of action, Ken was inspired to ask her to marry him.Bon Amour tells the story of how she answered that question, and how the years ahead gave substance to the trite old adage 'Love Conquers All.'

Have you ever walked down the street and you suddenly stop in your tracks because you encounter a  familiar fragrance? Perhaps a scent wafting in the air reminds you of the memory of your first kiss? Or the whiff of baby powder immediately takes you back to a beautiful newborn? Do the iconic perfumes of  Chanel #5 and Shalimar remind you of your grandmother?

This book is a compilation of my love of perfume and the answers given to the numerous questions asked by so many people who are fascinated by this marvelous subject, of how to choose it, where to wear it, and the many fragrance lovers I have met over the years whom I know will enjoy it. I hope you discover the magic and mystery of this extraordinary and powerful sense as you come with me on this fragrance journey.
