Why is our sense of smell so under-appreciated? We tend to think of smell as a vestigial remnant of our pre-human past, doomed to gradual extinction, and we go to great lengths to eliminate smells from our environment, suppressing body odour, bad breath and other smells. Living in a relatively odour-free environment has numbed us to the importance that smells have always had in human history and culture. In this major new book Robert Muchembled restores smell to its rightful place as one of our most important senses and examines the transformation of smells in the West from the Renaissance to the beginning of the 19th century. He shows that in earlier centuries, the air in towns and cities was often saturated with nauseating emissions and dangerous pollution. Having little choice but to see and smell faeces and urine on a daily basis, people showed little revulsion; until the 1620s, literature and poetry delighted in excreta which now disgust us. The smell of excrement and body odours were formative aspects of eroticism and sexuality, for the social elite and the popular classes alike. At the same time, medicine explained outbreaks of plague by Satan's poisonous breath corrupting the air. Amber, musk and civet came to be seen as vital bulwarks against the devil's breath: scents were worn like armour against the plague. The disappearance of the plague after 1720 and the sharp decline in fear of the devil meant there was no longer any point in using perfumes to fight the forces of evil, paving the way for the olfactory revolution of the 18th century when softer, sweeter perfumes, often with floral and fruity scents, came into fashion, reflecting new norms of femininity and a gentler vision of nature. This rich cultural history of an under-appreciated sense will be appeal to a wide readership.

« Je suis entré en parfumerie à l’âge de 16 ans sans savoir ce qui m’attendait. Je sortais de l’école publique avec en poche un certificat d’études primaires réussi laborieusement grâce aux notes de chant, de dessin et de sport ; rien de glorieux. Mon père, heureux du résultat auquel il ne croyait plus, pensant que je ne pouvais aller plus loin dans les études, me trouva un emploi d’ouvrier chez un fabricant d’essences à parfums à Grasse. Ce fut une douce révélation. Je ne m’intéressais pas aux parfums, mais aux plaisirs, à la passion de ceux qui les produisaient, les créaient. Taiseux de nature, accordant plus d’importance à l’écoute qu’à la parole, j’écoutais, je recevais. L’osmose eut lieu. Puis vint le temps de copier les parfums, de les célébrer, d’en imaginer et d’en composer de nouveaux. Le plaisir de l’écriture à son tour me saisit. Je pris le temps d’écrire sur les odeurs et les parfums, c’était ma façon de donner, de transmettre. » Dans les pas de Jean-Claude Ellena, de son enfance à Grasse au succès mondial de ses créations, voyagez à travers les parfums les plus enivrants et leurs secrets de fabrication les plus inouïs.

In England from the 1670s to the 1820s a transformation took place in how smell and the senses were viewed. The role of smell in developing medical and scientific knowledge came under intense scrutiny, and the equation of smell with disease was actively questioned. Yet a new interest in smell's emotive and idiosyncratic dimensions offered odour a new power in the sociable spaces of eighteenth-century England. Using a wide range of sources from diaries, letters, and sanitary records to satirical prints, consumer objects, and magazines, William Tullett traces how individuals and communities perceived the smells around them, from paint and perfume to onions and farts. In doing so, the study challenges a popular, influential, and often cited narrative. Smell in Eighteenth-Century England is not a tale of the medicalization and deodorization of English olfactory culture. Instead, Tullett demonstrates that it was a new recognition of smell's asocial-sociability, and its capacity to create atmospheres of uncomfortable intimacy, that transformed the relationship between the senses and society.
