Smell is fundamental to experience but mired in paradox.
Stigmatized as animalistic, it nonetheless feeds a vast fragrance
and marketing industry. Considered ephemeral, scents have survived
throughout the ages in a number of religious practices. The Smell
Culture Reader provides a much-needed overview of what is arguably
the most elusive sense. From hygiene to aromatherapy, the fetid to
the fragrant, smells are shown to be much more than just an
adornment or a nuisance. Addressing this engaging sense in redolent
detail, The Smell Culture Reader demonstrates how essential smell
is to sexuality, social status, personal identity, and cultural
tradition.
