The Emperor of Scent tells of the scientific maverick Luca Turin, a connoisseur and something of an aesthete who wrote a bestselling perfume guide and bandied about an outrageous new theory on the human sense of smell. Drawing on cutting-edge work in biology, chemistry, and physics, Turin used his obsession with perfume and his eerie gift for smell to turn the cloistered worlds of the smell business and science upside down, leading to a solution to the last great mystery of the senses: how the nose works.

Fascinating story, exquisitely narrated
Revisado: 01-26-25
This is a fascinating book. Though not my primary area of expertise, as an academic scientist in biomedical research, I greatly admire how accurately the author depicts the underlying science and experimental approaches, with only a few minor inaccuracies. The portrayal of the interpersonal dynamics in academia—marked by big egos, struggles, and the challenges of the often controversial peer-review process—is remarkably well done. The narration is exceptional, setting a standard I wish all audiobooks could meet.
