Back with The Smells

An article that I wrote about 15 years ago is still being used in schools world-wide today. It was about scent and the Middle Ages.

All these years later I’m still studying the subject.

The book above is interesting – not least because I now place the “Ancient Romans & Greeks” on a different timeline which helps to make sense of the nonsense.

I’ve always wondered how we went from such a sophisticated, educated time to a time of wholesale pestilence, bad stinks, dirty bodies, no hygiene and regular plagues.
