Opis

Luca Turin was born with a powerful nose, able to distinguish the components of any scent, from the most refined perfumes to the air on the subways. When he began to write reviews of fragrances, everything changed. The secret world of scent creation opened up, and Turin discovered something astonishing: No one understands how our noses work.
