Vad kan doftsinnet berätta om dig, din historia och din framtid?
Kanske har du upplevt hur en doft ögonblickligen kan väcka minnen och transportera dig bakåt i tid oavsett om det är lukten av asfalt eller regn, en speciell parfym eller doften av nystekta köttbullar.
I Det femte sinnet tar Margit Walsø med dig på en vetenskaplig, kulturhistorisk och personlig resa genom dofternas fascinerande värld. Läs om luktsinnets förhållande till minnet, hur parfymer skapas och vad som gjorde Grasse i Frankrike till världens viktigaste centrum för parfymtillverkning. Dessutom får du veta varför Napoleon bad sin fru Joséphine om att inte tvätta sig innan de skulle träffas i Paris. Boken ger dig en unik inblick i hur vårt luktsinne fungerar och du får nycklar som hjälper dig att till fullo utnyttja ditt femte sinne.
MARGIT WALSØ (född 1968) debuterade 2007 med den historiska romanen Kjære Voltaire, en berättelse om matematikern Emilie du Châtelet och hennes passionerade relation med Voltaire. Därefter har hon även skrivit romanerna Dronningens løfte (2013) och Parfymeorgelet (2018). Hennes böcker har översatts till flera språk. Hon har tidigare jobbat som förläggare för både skönlitteratur och facklitteratur och idag bor hon i Oslo där hon är verksam som chef för NORLA (Norwegian Literature Abroad).

Perfume is intoxicating: a wearable scent journey, a cultural touchpoint, a piece of art and design, and a deep expression of individuality. You can be nine or ninety, tall or small, wearing simple rosewater or a rare ambergris-infused concoction and your scent will still be your own. From its ancient, ceremonial roots to the starry allure of modern celebrity fragrances, perfume has long been associated with the almost-alchemical power to transform and bewitch. Perfumes have defined what an era’s luxury, femininity, and allure smell like, while even a lingering scent of someone’s signature perfume can be enough to send our minds reeling back through our memories. Nowadays, perfume has found an active online community of connoisseurs ready to scour the earth for niche, gate-kept and unattainable scents.In The Philosophy of Perfume, fragrance writer and journalist, Alice du Parcq, takes us on an opulent journey through the mysterious world of perfume. The book includes chapters on perfume’s history, the figures who have acted as perfume’s great muses, the psychology of scent, the obsessive search for ever-rarer ingredients, notes on dissecting scents, the most iconic bottle designs and how to find your perfect scent.

A Telegraph Best Book of 2025'Ingenious' - ★★★★★ Telegraph'Candid and compelling' - Guardian'Wistful, sad and funny' - Spectator'Working-class life pinned to the page' - Herald'Already your future has been planned out. There is not much choice about what to become in the small town where you live . . .'A bedroom dreamer with a headful of Warhol, Adelle Stripe's formative years were ones of daytime drinking and religious fervour, frustrated mothers and reckless daughters, desire, ambition and the pursuit of creativity. Told through a prism of vintage perfumes, and played out in vivid detail with startling clarity and colour, Base Notes chronicles an unbridled Northern England of the late 20th century already fading from view.With a keen eye for the absurd, an ear cocked to eavesdropped conversations and a nose that finds perfume wherever it goes, this tragicomic tale of working-class womanhood is no clichéd story of redemption or escape, but instead a bleakly funny yet unflinching memoir of dead-end jobs, lost weekends, brief encounters and those wild, forgotten characters who slip through the cracks.Infused with acerbic observations and unexpected poignancy, Base Notes sees Adelle Stripe boldly laying her lived experience on the page, creating literature from a life less ordinary.
