Grenville is not a scientist, but she has used her formidable research skills to present her case against fragrance. Early on she says that,
using fragrance is a choice,and my hope is that this book might give people the chance to make that choice an informed one.
She presents studies (among people who get migraines, around half get them from fragrance - pg24), lists signs and symptoms, defines terms, lays out the history of the use of scent and how scent is produced, reveals the various industry and government bodies who regulate the use of fragrances and chemicals as well as providing anecdotes about her experience with fragrance intolerance.
Did you know that 'when you smell something, it's because little bits of it have just gone up your nose'? Grenville goes on to explain how this actually occurs and why it can be beneficial for us.

I found the premise of the book, that we are inundated with hundreds of fragrances every day, more than ever before, which for a small portion of the public can be horrible quite interesting. The execution of this argument while well researched felt drawn out and suited to a different medium.
