On The Scent Of A Beautiful Life

This is the truly inspiring story of Suh Sung-whan, an entrepreneur who grew up in Gaeseong in North Korea, left school at the age of sixteen, and subsequently transformed a small family business into a multi-million dollar global cosmetics corporation, AmorePacific, famous for its perfumes and cosmetics across the world. When Suh Sung-whan was a young boy in the 1930s, his mother supported their family by mixing and selling hand-pressed hair treatment oils, created from camellia nut trees. Inspired by his mother, he quickly learned the skills for developing and selling these products, and earned himself a spot in the first department store to open in Gaeseong – a sign of the big things to come. Suh Sung-whan soon experienced a major setback however, when he was called up to fight with the Japanese during World War II. Following Korea’s liberation in 1945, he made a fully-fledged entry into business, expanding the company, now known as AmorePacific, both in Korea and worldwide. As well as developing a hugely successful cosmetics business, he also dedicated time to developing green tea farms in the Jeju and Honam regions, and launched OSulloc, his own tea company. This is the fascinating story of how a young boy took a small family business and developed it into a global company, which has been at the forefront of booming trade in Korea.

Erica Bauermeister, the national bestselling author of The School of Essential Ingredients, presents a moving and evocative coming-of-age novel about childhood stories, families lost and found, and how a fragrance conjures memories capable of shaping the course of our lives. Emmeline lives an enchanted childhood on a remote island with her father, who teaches her about the natural world through her senses. What he won’t explain are the mysterious scents stored in the drawers that line the walls of their cabin, or the origin of the machine that creates them. As Emmeline grows, however, so too does her curiosity, until one day the unforeseen happens, and Emmeline is vaulted out into the real world--a place of love, betrayal, ambition, and revenge. To understand her past, Emmeline must unlock the clues to her identity, a quest that challenges the limits of her heart and imagination. Lyrical and immersive, The Scent Keeper explores the provocative beauty of scent, the way it can reveal hidden truths, lead us to the person we seek, and even help us find our way back home.

Every believer who is still upright in nature must hope for Heaven and fear Hell. This is part of his faith in God. The verses of the Quran that are the guide of his life contain many of these motivators. The world and the hereafter can hardly be compared; the pleasures of Heaven are far greater than the pleasures of the world. A small comparison between life in Heaven and on earth, the head covering of a woman in Heaven, is far better than the world and all its contents. Going for jihad for the sake of Allah in the morning or in the afternoon is better than the world and all its contents. And that which is the size of an arrow (in Heaven) or the size of a place to place its feet in Heaven, is better than the world and all its contents. If a woman of Heaven appeared on earth, her rays would illuminate the sky and earth. The scent of her fragrance will be smelled between sky and earth. And really, the veil worn by women of heaven is better than the world and everything in it (Hadith reported by al-Bukhari) This book contains descriptions about al-Jannah (Heaven) based on Quran and hadith.
