Distilling solely the descriptors that borrow words from the senses (taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell) is based on the work of sensual philosopher Abbé Étienne Bonnot de Condillac’s Treatise on Sensations and anthropologist David Le Breton's essay La Conjugaison Des Sens. Both indicate that the human senses are not isolated but are in fact collaborating, which is the origin of all human knowledge.
A glossary, different from a dictionary, is related to a specific field. The list consists of words in alphabetical order. Even though there are various approaches to increase awareness of smells and their embodied experience, a vocabulary for smells is crucial to enable sensory awareness: ‘For instance, we know that the primary visual cortex is activated in blind people when they read braille, that seeing lips moving during an exchange activates the auditory cortex even when no sounds are uttered, or that reading a word evoking a smell activates the primary olfactory cortex.’ (Toublanc, 2024)
