Most of us take for granted the sense of smell. It gives pleasure, warning, anticipation and a sense of nostalgia.

In this work, Askinson traces the history of perfumery and gives us an overview of the sources of perfumes and how they are manipulated to enhance our lives. - Summary by Lynne Thompson
