Rotten eggs. Perfume. Sweat. Smells transport, attract, and seduce us, but they also disgust, unsettle, even anger us. Why do some smells comfort us while others repel us? And what does that reveal about who we are?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe tend to think of smell as our least important sense and pay little attention to it, yet smell warns us of danger, lets us enjoy our food, and binds us to our memories and identities. In \u003ci\u003eUnder Your Nose\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Ally Louks draws on science, literature, history, and pop culture to uncover the hidden influence of smell in our lives.
