Sensory study requires an understanding of how we smell, and how we taste. But just as importantly, we need to understand how to communicate about it. In this second module, you’ll discover the answers as you gain valuable insight into the science of olfaction, as well as practical advice on industry smelling techniques.

Written by David Williams, an expert in the field of sensory studies, this module is the perfect introduction to specialist terminology, cutting edge science, and our heritage in the rich sensory world of the aroma trades. And you’ll also look back at the history of perfumery, including its development, and explore various schemes of odour classification.
