From 2003 to 2014, scientist and perfume critic Luca Turin (The Secret of Scent, Perfumes: the A-Z Guide) wrote two widely admired columns for distinguished Swiss magazine NZZ Folio. First in the "Duftnote" he discussed all things smellable, from Blue Stratos to Mitsouko and the fragrance of a particular Air France jet. Afterward in "Either/Or" he helped readers examine the relative merits of such as heels vs. flats, trains vs. trams, or Captain Nemo vs. Captain Haddock. Written in Turin's inimitable and highly quotable style, full of passionately held opinions on subjects major and minor, pulling on culture high and low, Old World and New, aesthetic and scientific, these essays were some of the best loved parts of the magazine. However, the columns were only intermittently available in English. This is the first time many of these writings have been published in the original. Included are four feature articles also published in NZZ Folio, plus a foreword written by his co-author of Perfumes: the A-Z Guide, Tania Sanchez.

About the book >.>.> *Folio Columns 2003-2014* is a compilation of monthly essays by Luca Turin, published over an eleven-year span in NZZ Folio. Initially commissioned in 2003 to contribute to an issue centred on the theme of smell, Turin?s work quickly became a highlight for readers who appreciated his engaging and multifaceted reflections on various subjects, blending the realm of fragrance with wider cultural and personal observations.In these columns, Turin showcases his considerable intellect through explorations that encompass not only the intricacies of perfume but also an array of topics such as gastronomy, flavour, and sensory experiences. His lyrical prose delivers a mix of humour and earnest inquiry, allowing readers to traverse from discussions on the nuances between coffee éclairs to the merits of carbonation in water. Turin's distinct voice brings a rich tapestry of emotions to his writing?ranging from nostalgia to technical analysis?inviting readers to think deeply about the ordinary and extraordinary aspects of life.Each piece exemplifies Turin's unique perspective and an unabashed curiosity about the world around him. As readers engage with his insights, they are encouraged to reconsider their perceptions of everyday phenomena, enhancing the enjoyment of both smell and taste. This collection not only captures the evolution of Turin's thought processes over a decade but also serves as a testament to his impact as both a writer and a thinker, resonating with those who seek to appreciate the subtleties of sensory experiences.
