The Smell Code: How Scent Shapes Our Reality

The Smell Code is an immersive exploration of the sense of smell, revealing how this often-overlooked "secret language" profoundly shapes our memories, emotions, and perception of reality. The book takes the reader on a journey that begins with the "primal nose," explaining the evolutionary and biological reasons for our deep connection to scent. It delves into the neuroscience of how odors trigger powerful memories and emotions, from the "ghost in the perfume" to the "scent of fear". More than just a scientific text, the author investigates the cultural and social dimensions of smell, from the "smell-scapes" of cities to the unspoken language of attraction. Ultimately, it's a call to become more conscious of the invisible world of scent and to understand its powerful influence on our lives.
