Book of Scents 3 - Cultures-Hardcover

Now let's think about the cultures that "do not follow their noses"! Welcome to the Cultures stop of the Book of Scents... Since the smell of our civilization has emerged - there is no need to say it anymore - but when smell is mentioned, the first name that comes to mind in Turkey is; It would be useful to listen to Vedat Ozan. The "bad smells" coming from the civilization we built as if we had no nose probably indicate life-threatening dangers. The map of cultures built with nose and perfume opens before you!
An incredible geography, from the palaces of Paris to the Egyptian Bazaar, from rainy women to the cotton of Suleiman the Magnificent, from the latrines of Rome to the incense of the Chinese, from the children of the wind to the Medicis... And - of course - accompanied by countless "unnecessary information"! Unimaginable details and stories of art and craft, which are indispensable elements of cultures, from Haydn's symphonies to Duchamp's urinal, from Baby Jesus' visitors to contemporary art museums, from Kafka's love to James Joyce's mustache cup, from the institution of anointing to incense clocks... We invite those who are ready to smell the scent of civilization and turn the pages.

"When we consider the sense of smell, which is implicit and suppressed in our society, together with the examples of distant cultures where it is discussed more openly and distinctly, perhaps we can perceive it differently and realize the sensory diversity that we unfortunately remain distant from."
