An Aromatic Life

The Underappreciated Sense


Listen Later

#1: In this first episode, Frauke explores why our sense of smell is such an under-appreciated sense in our culture.  She discusses why so many Millennials are willing to give up their sense of smell,  what our language says about what senses we prioritize, what it was like back in time when smells (and smelling) were an integral part of society, and what two periods in history shaped how we value our sense of smell, and smells, today. She also explores what role COVID-19 has played in shifting the conversation about smell.  At the end, Frauke reflects on how we got to where we are today, and offers two simple exercises you can do to apply what you've learned.
