At first...

It has always had a bad reputation: it is accused of being an inferior, animal, primitive, instinctive, repressed, superfluous, underdeveloped, subjective sense, incapable of abstraction... However, smells, by turns sacred, therapeutic, aesthetic, play a special role in the history of man. Panorama of the scientific, psychological, historical, philosophical and cultural singularities of a little-known faculty... but which we are beginning to recognize at its true value. State of play.
