This Penhaligon's volume pairs classic writing on love with full-color art reproductions and was made as a scented book: its pages and marbled endpapers were infused with Penhaligon's Elisabethan Rose fragrance. The fragrance text describes an old-fashioned Elizabethan rose garden and freshly cut roses dried for potpourri; current scent strength is not represented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe anthology follows romance through four sections—Love Inspired, Love Fulfilled, Love Unrequited, and Love Everlasting—and includes selections from writers including William Shakespeare, Leo Tolstoy's \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e, Charles Dickens's \u003ci\u003eDavid Copperfield\u003c\/i\u003e, Charlotte Brontë, and Dante Alighieri's \u003ci\u003eThe Divine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e. Classical paintings reproduced within include work by John William Waterhouse, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Arthur Hughes, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The volume has a dark marbled binding and slipcase, a ribbon bookmark, decorative rose-and-locket cover panel, marbled endpapers, and an Ex Libris bookplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePickles took over the historic Penhaligon's perfume house in the 1970s, helping revive the brand alongside Italian film director Franco Zeffirelli. She restored its Victorian-era aesthetic, opened high-end London boutiques, and developed scented literary anthologies using techniques intended to capture perfume oils in the paper and bindings.
