description: Our sense of smell is intimately connected to our experience of the world around us. Without us knowing, it governs what we choose to eat, who we love, why we hate, and how we remember; yet, we pay very little attention to the profound effect that scents have on our everyday lives. In Scent, an exploration of the complex intersection between science, scent, and psychology, noted perfumer Christopher Brosius unravels the mystery surrounding our most neglected sense.“Illustrated” with eighteen microencapsulated scent cards created by Brosius, this book provides the reader with an immediate experience of the phenomena he discusses. Lively, engaging, and easily accessible (even to the science impaired), Scent will change the way we experience the world around us.
