Frank Bloem | Feeling, Smelling, Tasting | Ode to the Lower Senses

A delightful and highly educational book, and right up our alley! At Mail & Female, we're passionate about raising awareness of our "lower" senses :-). We don't necessarily want to lick a tennis ball, but we've all experienced that borderline between disgust and curiosity. And here lies the magic of three overlooked senses: touch, smell, and taste. These are senses often wrongly considered inferior, yet these sensations are precisely what connect us most deeply to the world.
Frank Bloem (perfumer) follows his nose, tongue, and skin on a sensory quest filled with fragrant memories, inexplicable preferences, and scientific surprises. With humor and wonder, he demonstrates that these so-called "lower" senses not only give color and direction to our existence, but sometimes also (literally) bring us closer together.
