“Until Rachel Herz told us, who would have imagined that the aesthetics and physiology of the nose would both be as rich and complicated as those of the eye and mouth and heart? A charming and informative treatise on a vital and over-looked subject.”
Adam Gopnik, author of Through the Children's Gate and Paris to the Moon

“This is a spicy perfume of a book, redolent with fascinating facts and provocative hypotheses.”

Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor, Harvard University, author of The Language Instinct, How the Mind Works, and The Stuff of Thought

“In this tantalizing and evocative book Herz shows how the sense of smell works in every aspect of our lives and she awakens our own senses as we read. She makes a complex science, accessible, charming and accurate and the book is fascinating, witty and wise.”
Linda Bartoshuk, Professor, University of Florida, Gainesville

Full of fascinating facts, The Scent of Desire punctures myths and shares secrets about smells and our sometimes-unexpected and emotional reactions to them. Skunks and roses will never seem the same to me again.

Marlene Zuk, professor of biology, University of California, Riverside and author of Riddled with Life: Friendly Worms, Ladybug Sex, and the Parasites That Make Us Who We Are
