03-12-07, 09:04 PM I recently finished reading Black Bouquet and it has inspired me. A very desirable piece of non-magical lore with a lot of potential. Unfortunately the novel did not include specifics on the ingredients required for the perfumes and my knowledge of the flora of Faerun is rather limited.

I would appreciate any information regarding potential recipes or alchemical processes. I cannot recall any other source that contains any details along those lines or the specifics of the book itself so pointers are welcome.

Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue also has a few useful tidbits.

Thank you for the information Old Sage. I doubt I can find that Dragon magazine issue but I will go through Aurora's Catalogue.

I'll track down a few of my other sources also, because I do recall more lore about perfumes and the like in the FR material.
