In the form of composed perfumes or raw aromatics, our olfactory experience has played into how we seduce and perceive attractiveness, how we worship our gods, experience magic, and navigate the world. It has helped us measure health, share culture, understand social status, and engage in trade. Scent is a concurrent narrative to everything we do, and everything we do is interconnected.” Bringing a contemporary sophistication to one of the oldest stories in the human book, Wilson-Brown has produced a volume spanning concepts as broad as evolution and as specific as the connection of brimstone to long-standing fears of the underworld, the wrath of God, Satan and witchcraft. Chapters on the intersection of perfume and the elements, sickness and health, seduction, magic and the supernatural, religion, power, trade paths, consumerism and storytelling are amplified by a notably playful and refined image selection, copious endnotes, a detailed index and a bibliography supported by additional suggested readings. Design is by Lamotte Studios. | | ABOUT ARTBOOK the source for books on art & culture 
Published by D.A.P., 2026 | STAFF PICKS | FROM THE SHELVES Halloween Horror, 2026 | |  FEATURED STORE Located in Chinatown, Yu and Me Books is the first Asian American queer-owned bookstore in NYC. It’s also a café and bar that draws readers who want to imbibe in the company of the strong, diverse voices of the local community and who appreciate the centering of immigrant stories. Owner (and chemical engineer) Lucy Yu opened the store out of a desire to create a space where book lovers could dream together, share their passion, strive for change and push systems closer to justice. Having experienced lack of representation within the literary space herself, she’s made it her goal to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed and heard. “It’s something special to read a story that you relate to and see yourself represented after a lifetime of not being able to.” | | | NEW RELEASES For the complete list of new monographs, museum exhibition catalogues, artists' books, visual arts journals, and trade titles shipping this week, go to What's New? |  | D.A.P.ISBN: 9781636811482 USD $39.95 | CAD $54.95 UK £ 32Pub Date: 11/10/2026 Active | In stock |

|  FEATURED PUBLISHER For lovers of nineteenth-century literature, a more dynamic and impassioned small literary press cannot be found. Founded in 2022 by budding art historian Madeline Porsella (at the time a PhD student at Yale) and Mabel Capability Taylor (design historian moonlighting in The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Capital Projects Department), Mandylion has developed a worldwide cult following for its iconic and thoughtfully-designed paperback publishing program exclusively focused on the retrieval of forgotten or out-of-print nineteenth-century books by women and eccentric writers. Their podcast, 1-800-1800, dives further into period art, culture, history and scandal. | | | | | CURATED ART LIBRARIES Curated Libraries by Movement and Subject Area
