There were a few bumpy bits and questionable coincidences, but I was crying the last few chapters of the book, glad the very likeable characters were getting happy endings. Review: Perfume industry story with India backgroud - The Perfumist of Paris by Alka Joshi is the 3 book in her Trilogy about main character Lakshmi and her sister Radha. This book finds Radha grown and in Paris married to Pierre with 2 daughters. Radha has run to Paris to keep secret a son that she let older friend adopt when she was 13. This story is all about the perfume industry and all that goes into the making of scents. So much is about India and all the scents and smells from there that Radha is familiar and the expert she becomes. There is much cultural things that are explained and are very fascinating. The story has some turns and the characters are very well developed. One thing this author does that I wish other did is she has a listing of her characters and who they are so you can refer to as I have to check at times. She also has a glossary in the back of terms and things Indian and French. This is very helpful. She has a few recipes and information about perfume making etc. I have read all 3 of her books and enjoyed them all. I think the first and second were the best but recommend all! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #73,626 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #194 in Cultural Heritage Fiction #218 in Mothers & Children Fiction #2,154 in Women's Domestic Life Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 8,345 Reviews | ## Images ![The Perfumist of Paris: A Captivating Narrative of Love, Sacrifice and Family Ties in 1970s Paris (The Jaipur Trilogy, 3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8193ocBxCjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely Story! *by M***N on July 2, 2025* This book sucked me in with its characters and descriptions of perfume making.

The characters grow little by little ripening into the heart of the reader. No spoilers in this review, so you won't read details either. Lakshmi is prevalent in all books. She is the Henna Artist. She is a strong lady, lovable, driven & and self-aware. Other characters, and there are many, are usually connected to Lakshmi in some way. As a bonus, the reader gets to feel what it's like to live in India. I could almost taste the food, smell the surroundings & see the places they live. The characters in the 3 books grow up, and new characters are added little by little. By the end of book 3, there are many characters with different backgrounds & personalities. The primary characters are in all books. Several real-life dilemmas occur & the ways they are handled keep the reader thinking. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/617379400-the-perfumist-of-paris-a-captivating-narrative-of-love-sacrifice](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/617379400-the-perfumist-of-paris-a-captivating-narrative-of-love-sacrifice) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
