The olfactory journey described in this book introduces readers to
the pleasures and benefits of educating and training the 'nose',
our olfactory palate. Jennifer Peace Rhind explores the process of
cultivating our sense of smell and demonstrates how the process
itself can be therapeutic and enjoyable, as well as informative.
She highlights the different skills involved, from olfactory
vocabulary, awareness, and memory, through to discrimination and
fragrance creation, and the activities that can help to acquire
them, emphasizing the value of experiential learning. She describes
the Japanese art of koh-do or the 'way of incense' and suggests
ways of creating group events inspired by this. Based on her twenty
five years' experience working with essential oils and aromatic
plant extracts, she also leads the reader through a variety of
scent families, with information on the botanical source, odour
profiles, olfactory notes, and suggestions for comparison with
other scents. This method of educating and training the 'nose' is
fascinating, challenging and life-enhancing and will be of interest
to anyone eager to develop their sense of smell, and of
incalculable use to aromatherapy students and practitioners who
must acquire these skills for their career.
