A review by eleanor_nicbhatair
The Case Against Fragrance by Kate Grenville

3.0

I found this to be a very eye opening experience. I've never really considered the effects of fragrance on others in such a detailed way. I myself am asthmatic and do find some strong scents very overpowering and choke on them on a semi-regular basis. I had just never really attributed this to the chemicals in the scents its self and the damaged that this does to us. This book has given me a lot to think about in terms of what products I regularly use and I feel like I will now make more informed decisions because of this.
I do think however that more attention should have been given to her scientific arguments and for her to have had more involvement with an actual expert. Overall, I would recommend this book so that people can become more aware of how their choices of fragrance affect others.
