Description
A fascinating journey through the rich world of scent. Without scent, 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 triggers emotions. It is therefore no wonder that perfumes and spices have been among the world's most important trade products since time immemorial. In The Atlas of Scent, Ari Turunen transports us to various continents and links scents with a collection of facts from history, mythology, literature, visual art, etymology, and chemistry. The result is a fantastically written and beautifully designed book that demonstrates the importance of scents in our lives.
