Scents and Sensuality

Viac o knihe

Starting from the premise that human beings neglect their powers of smell and taste, this book asserts that people are missing out on a range of pleasurable experiences, whether from the bottle, at the table or in bed. Everyone has his or her own unique body smell, but many seek to disguise the good as well as the bad with perfumed products which imitate the very smells they obliterate. The author, an international wine judge, winemaker and surgeon, offers advice on the revival and full use of these neglected powers - firstly through a better understanding of one's own responses and then through a raised consciousness achieved through comparative tastings of wines and foods and a heightened response to human smell.
