Olpactive research, or anthropology of smells, is an important area in modern humanitarian science, which is evidence of this book dedicated to the history of smell in Western Europe of the Art Nouveau. What bizarre, dangerous and fetids did they use several centuries ago to bring beauty? How did the artists manage to convey fragrance and stink in painting? What immodest poetry did the poets devote the intimate parts of the body? How did the sensual perfumes of animal origin have changed herbal, and how did the doctors try to defeat the plague with the help of strong aromas? The book of the leading French historian of culture Robert Muzhemblah, the author of research "orgasm" and "Essays on the history of the devil", convincingly shows that the classification of smells largely depends on the cultural attitudes of various eras and the olfactory perception is subject to the same transformation as the aesthetic criteria in art.
