The Book “SMELL” explores the science, clinical importance, and human experience of the sense of smell. The book is written for a broad audience but is strongly rooted in clinical and scientific knowledge from the field of rhinology and olfactory research.
“Your fine-tuned sense of smell has the power to transport you back in time to granny’s house or lure you into the bakery for fresh bread. Scents have been a precious commodity for millennia, yet medical doctor and researcher Alexander Wieck Fjaeldstad explains that different people have diverging perceptions of aromatic spices, fragrances, and flavours. The 400 types of receptors in our olfactory system can detect minute traces of danger and even make us subconsciously approve or reject potential partners.”
