Subject: This all-inclusive compilation covers research conducted over the past 10 years on how fragrance affects our daily lives through our social interactions, our moods, anxiety and stress levels, alertness, and even our sleeping patterns. Compendium of Olfactory Research teaches us not to look at the fragrance experience only for its purely pleasurable value, but also for its functional value. The research contained within this book will prepare future researchers for further study on the effects of fragrances on behavior. Compendium of Olfactory Research is divided into seven areas of research: Fundamentals of Odor Perception: how we receive and perceive smells. Fragrance and Psychophysiology: how odors affect basic processes such as attention, sleep, and anxiety. Olfactory Conditioning: how the power of odor-evoked memories affect current and future behavior. Scent and Social Behavior: how fragrance has an effect on social interactions. Mood: how our emotional response to odors might improve mood. Cultural and Historical Perspectives: how smell has played a role in history, sociology, and anthropology. Applications: how the research works in practical, applied settings.
