Importance of Smell (08-18-10)

Blodgett lost her sense of smell for several months and chronicles her efforts to restore it.  As she reports on her return to the smelling world, Blodgett presents key information that will interest people designing human experiences, such as the link between scents and emotions.  The most direct lesson to be gleaned from Blodgett’s book is the importance of considering the full range of sensory experiences, including smell, when designing a space or the objects to be used within it.

Bonnie Blodgett.  2010.  Remembering Smell:  A Memoir of Losing – and Discovering – the Primal Sense. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt:  New York.
