The Case Against Fragrance

By Kate Grenville

Book Overview

Kate Grenville had always associated perfume with elegance and beauty. Then the headaches starred. On a book tour, dogged by ill health, she started wondering: what's in fragrance? What does it do to people? The more Grenville investigated, the more she felt this was a story that should be told. Fragrance isn't made of flowers now, but synthetic chemicals. Some of them can be linked not just to headaches, but to asthma and allergies, hormone disruption and cancer. These chemicals are released onto the market without testing. Their use is regulated by the same people who make them. And they don't have to be listed on labels. Our world is awash with scented products containing these potentially damaging ingredients. Based on careful research into the science of scent, yet accessible and personal, The Case Against Fragrance will make you see-and smell-the world differently. Book jacket.
