I’m a sensory psychologist specializing in odor perception. In real life, I’m an independent scientific consultant. In fantasy life, I’m the creator of Nick Zollicker, smell expert and man of mystery. Somewhere in between I appear in Shiseido TV commercials in Japan.

“(Many years ago, Corona beer from Mexico was poorly made and oxidized easily. The acid in a slice of lime was an effective way to chemically neutralize the off-odor. Today Corona is made as well as any beer in the world, but the lime tradition lives on.)”
Avery Gilbert, What the Nose Knows: The Science of Scent in Everyday Life

“By comparing bean-powered samples from men and women, the intrepid Minnesotans were able to settle a long-running dispute between the sexes. The data proved (as men have claimed for centuries) that the farts of women are stinkier, on a volume-for-volume basis, than those of men. Since men produce a greater volume than women, however, the overall gag factor remains about even.”
Avery Gilbert, What the Nose Knows: The Science of Scent in Everyday Life

“The scents of nature are largely a chemical conversation between plants and animals and humans merely eavesdrop.”
Avery Gilbert
