Cet ouvrage s'intéresse à nos compétences olfactives à l'œuvre dans nos relations sociales, familiales et sexuelles. L'éthologie animale a montré que les odeurs pouvaient être un média de communications complexes chez diverses espèces. Le développement de l'imagerie cérébrale nous permet de comprendre l'anatomie des réseaux neuronaux mettant en correspondance des fonctions affectives ou cognitives à différentes odeurs. Ainsi, notre comportement quotidien pourrait être tributaire de cette modalité sensorielle restée très longtemps méconnue.

Over the last decade there has been a growing interest in sensory science in Italy. This has clearly resulted in an increase in the number of researchers engaged in this sector and the number of companies that exploit sensory evaluations for product innovation and enhancement and in quality control. In Italy, in the sphere of the valorisation of prestige foodstuffs there is an increasing sensitivity towards the adoption of strict methods for describing the sensory properties of the products and ascertaining compliance with defined sensory standards. The Societa grave; Italiana di Scienze Sensoriali has played a decisive role in activating and guiding this development. Pursuing this approach, in 2008 the Society organised the 2nd National Convention as an occasion for exchange among professionals working in the field of sensory science.
