About This Book

Biophysicist Luca Turin challenges the scientific establishment with a radical vibration-based theory of how the human nose works. The narrative follows his journey through the high-stakes world of the perfume industry and the skepticism of academic science. It explores the biology, chemistry, and obsession behind the mystery of olfactory perception.
