The Atlas of Scent (Dutch language) Spectrum Publishing

A fascinating journey through the rich world of scents. Without scents, there would be no life: plants use scents to attract pollinators, animals use them for mating. Scent influences our consciousness, makes us more alert, evokes memories, and stirs emotions within us. It is therefore no wonder that perfumes and spices have been among the most important trade products in the world since time immemorial. In The Atlas of Scent, Ari Turunen takes us on a journey to different continents and links scents to a collection of interesting facts from history, mythology, literature, visual arts, etymology, and chemistry. The result is a fantastically written and beautifully designed book that shows how important scents are in our lives.
