The Perfume of Eros is a novel by Edgar Saltus. It opens in New York's Gramercy Park, where Royal Loftus lives with his mother and is asked whether he still thinks of Fanny Price. A society novel of love, desire and social expectation, told in Saltus's elegant, epigrammatic prose; worth listening to for its atmospheric portrait of a vanished Manhattan.
