Ron Sullivan & Joe Eaton: I bought this for my partner, who'd already borrowed a copy from the library and liked it so much I thought he'd want his own copy for reference. I was right.
Dang, this book is fun!

Judy Parrish: This book provides in-depth information about why things smell the way they do. What smells wonderful may contain undertones created by chemicals that, by themselves, l would be pretty awful. And vice versa. It helps to have some familiarity with organic chemistry, but that's not completely necessary. This reviewer does, and was fascinated by the relationship between chemical structure and "smelliness", but one doesn't need to go so deeply into the chemistry to enjoy this book.

Luca T.: This book is a real trip: it encourages the reader to imagine odours coming from the birth of the universe, the origins of life, plants, animals, etc. A great narrative idea mixing science and sensory phenomenology.

Fred Cheyunski: Hearing the author interviewed on NPR when book came out, I was intrigued as it seems not many popular books have been devoted to our “grand olfactory.” At least, since I could not remember another such book, I secured a copy to read. As I proceeded, I found that the text is indeed, as its main title suggests, a deep plunge into odors and their chemistry, yet written in a compelling and interesting manner.

Sub-titled “a field guide,” the book is a tome of 688 pages divided into a preface and introduction, then 5 parts of 19 chapters and a conclusion. Namely, there is the Preface: My First Grouse, the Introduction: A Sense of the Essential, Part 1, Simplest Smells: (1) Among the Stars (2) Planet Earth, Early Life, Stinking Sulfur, (3) Starter Set; Part 2, Animals – Dependence, Mobility, Microbiomes: (4) Animal Bodies, (5) Animal Signals, (6) The Human Animal; Part 3, Land Plants – Independence Immobility, Virtuosity: (7) Sweet Smells of Success, (8) Plant Volatile Families: Green, Fruity, Flowery, Spicy, (9) Mosses, Trees, Grasses, Weeds, (10) Flowers, (11) Edible Greens and Herbs, (12) Edible Roots and Seeds: Staples and Spices, (13) Fruits; Part 4, Land,...

Leandro Batista: Every ingredient has several volatile compounds that define its flavor. This is a very important subject to any cook.

Ashley N: This book is so interesting and a perfect one if you're a perfumer, a cook, mixologist, or do anything to do with smell or flavor. Basically its a huge book explaining what makes up all the glorious and not so glorious smells of the world. The naturally occurring aroma chemicals that make up the smells of fall leaves, the ocean, food, and so on. Anything you can think of. I think its especially useful for perfumers who build accords. I highly recommend!
