The Case Against Fragrance by Kate Grenville

Kate Grenville had always associated perfume with elegance and beauty. Then the headaches started. Like perhaps a quarter of the population, Grenville reacts badly to the artificial fragrances around us: other people's perfumes, and all those scented cosmetics, cleaning products and air fresheners. On a book tour in 2015, dogged by ill health, she started wondering: what's in fragrance? Who tests it for safety? What does it do to people? The more Grenville investigated, the more she felt this was a story that should be told.

The Hidden River, which won the Commonwealth Writers' Award for Best Novel and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, and The Notion of Perfection, which won the Orange Prize for Fiction, are two of Kate Grenville's works of fiction. She is based in Sydney. Kategrenville.com is her official webpage.
