Description
The human sense of smell enables us to appreciate food and drink, warns us of danger and makes our surroundings more enjoyable, yet it remains one of the least explored sensory systems. Smells and scents enrich our experience of life and can evoke memories of childhood, deceased relatives, pregnancy, love and sex, while also revealing something about our feelings, thoughts and relationships. The Forgotten Sense explores the unknown mind and the ways it shapes us: why smells evoke such powerful memories, how body odours may influence whom we fall in love with, and how sensitive the human sense of smell is. Dr Jonas Olofsson has spent years studying this little-understood sense and shows that it is possible to improve and refine our ability to smell, developing it into a more useful tool that can bring greater immediacy to life.
