The Case Against Fragrance. 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. Written by Kate Grenville. Paperback. 198 pages. 

Features

What's in fragrance? What does it do to people?

Kate Grenville shares her investigation into a story that needs to be told. Fragrance isn't about flowers now, but synthetic chemicals. Some of them can be linked not just to headaches, nut 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 the labels. Our world is awash with scented products containing these potentially damaging ingredients.

The Case Against Fragrance will help you become a more empowered consumer and to avoid the toxic effects of synthetic fragrance. Kate quotes from Rachel Carson's revolutionary environmental book published in 1962 Silent Spring.

It is also an era dominated by industry, in which the right to make a dollar at whatever cost is seldom challenged...The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts... "The obligation to endure gives us the right to know."

Written by Kate Grenville. Paperback. 198 pages. Published in Australia in 2017.
