About the Book

This text argues that smell is repressed in the modern West, and its social history ignored. It attempts to break the olfactory silence of modernity by offering an exploration of the cultural role of odours in Western history and in a wide variety of non-Western societies.

Review :
"Warning: this book may bring on the desire to fill your home with bouquets of freesia, spread lavendar under your sheets, take baths infused with verbena, and rub rosemary through your hands. For "Aroma, through its examination of the role of odor in various cultures and at different periods, cannot help but make a reader painfully aware of the great olfactory void that characterizes Western civilization in the late 20th century.... Considering the omnipresent olfactory backdrop of automobile exhaust, a short growing season and limited access to the earth, that anyone is trying to take back odor' surely is cause for celebration, especially for such olfactory afficionados as these authors." -"The Montreal Gazette "Better than anything written on the subject thus far . . . Tremendously rich and attention-holding." -Zygmunt Bauman ""Aroma: The Cultural History of Smell is fascinating on how odours are not just biological and psychological but cultural, employed by societies as a way of defining and interacting with the world...it is quite a relief to open this deliciously rich stew of a book and smell nothing more than paper and ink." -"The Observer "Classen, Howes and Synnott have brought the day a little closer with their fascinating book." -John Emsley, Imperial College, London ..."a fine survey of the meanings of olfaction from the historical, anthropological and sociological viewpoint...their text will prove valuable to teachers and students alike." -"Journal of Social History
