Olfactory research, or the anthropology of smells, is an important field in the modern humanities, as evidenced by this book on the history of the sense of smell in modern Western Europe. What bizarre, dangerous and foul-smelling potions were used centuries ago to restore beauty? How did the artists manage to convey fragrance and stench in painting? What immodest verses did poets devote to the intimate parts of the body? How did sensual animal spirits give way to plant ones, and how did doctors try to defeat the plague with strong scents? The book of the leading French cultural historian Robert Mushemble, author of the studies "Orgasm" and "Essays on the History of the Devil", convincingly shows that the classification of smells largely depends on the cultural attitudes of different eras and olfactory perception is subject to the same transformation as aesthetic criteria in art.
