Book of Scents

The Book of Scents is finally in your hands!

Now you can follow your nose with peace of mind. But do not think that smells only tell the truth. The Book of Scents is also a guide to the lies we fall for.

When "fragrance" is mentioned, the first name that comes to mind in Turkey is; Vedat Ozan. In his first book and the first volume of his long-term work, The Book of Scents, he covers almost every aspect of the issue: mythology, cultural history, chemistry, economy-politics, psychology, literature, daily life...

After reading this book; While you are loving a baby, paying your natural gas bill, having a flock of pigeons fly over your head, doing shopping, suddenly feeling nostalgic, catching yourself trying to impress the opposite sex, or even getting into the elevator, you will start to think with other associations.

You will read the Book of Scents over and over again; It will smoke in your nose... But that's not all, don't worry! Three more volumes are waiting for their turn: it has a perfume, a cultural history, and a flavor dimension. The detailed story of our adventure with the smell that started in our mother's womb will be completed with the taste that started there again. Welcome to the world of the nose, which is the secret compass of man, and therefore the world of smell, which permeates almost everything we think of, whether it comes to mind or not...

"We may not have entered a room and seen a picture or an object on the wall of that room by chance, but it is impossible for us to ignore the smell in the same room. This means that we are faced with an inevitable stimulus."
