The answer to understanding smell is right under your nose. An insightful exploration of smell through evolution, biology, psychology, culture, mysticism, technology, and law.

Smell has always played a key role in our evolution. From sniffing out danger or spoiled food to choosing a partner, smell is integral to our survival. It affects our mood, memory, decisions, and even our intuition. Yet, it’s often the unsung hero of the five senses. So how does smell work? And what does scent add to our lives and our understanding of the world?

Making Sense of Smell explores the aromatic world of odor, infusing scientific research with fascinating historical anecdotes. The book provides answers to all your olfactory questions, like:
  • Can plants smell?
  • Why do babies smell so good?
  • Why is there a strong connection between memory and scent?
  • And why are dogs’ noses always wet?

Captivating, eye-opening, and illuminating, Making Sense of Smell will take you on a scent-sational journey into why smell matters.
