The highlight was the chapter "The Nose and Odor." Here, Ellena delves into scent detection, the influence of vapor pressure on smells, individual detection thresholds, sensitivity to scent nuances, and the impact of previously experienced scents on current perceptions. Later chapters gives some tips on enhancing sensitivity to smells and developing our olfactory taste. The book also briefly touches on scent description, exploring aspects like intensity, tenacity, volatility, and uniqueness.

Despite not being the most seamless translation from French, it serves as a commendable introduction to the art of perfumery.
