The narrative follows the journey of scent across history and across the globe:

: Humans eventually learned to "co-opt" these survival scents for their own complex purposes—spirituality, wealth, and seduction.

: The book explores how industrialization and modern perfumery transformed these natural essences into the $28 billion industry known today, though its roots remain in the soil. Go to product viewer dialog for this item. Scent: A Natural History of Fragrance

: Plants like Jasmine use molecules like linalool to beckon night-flying moths, while Frankincense trees produce resin to seal wounds and ward off pathogens.

: Fragrance became a global engine of change. The domestication of the camel between 1500–1200 BC turned heavy loads of incense into a currency that built inland kingdoms like Petra and connected southern Arabia to the Silk Road.
