Georg Simmel i flakonik perfum
Georg Simmel and a perfume bottle

Summary/Abstract: Senses play a key role in human life. Thanks to the pioneering approach to the senses as social beings and not only physiological ones, Georg Simmel changed not only the perspective of perception of sensory phenomena but also drew attention to the essence of multi-sensory cognition of social phenomena. Paying attention to the role of sensors in the construction of social reality, contributed undoubtedly to the creation of a basis for development of a narrow specialization called sociology of senses. The fragrance is a part of experience of almost all people. The process of socialization to which a man falls, is also a process of fragrance socialization. Odor is important when acquiring or changing social roles. It affects us in physical, mental and social dimensions.
