    Abstract:
    Until now, critics have shown little interest in the bouquet of aromas and scents that permeate the linguistic fabric of À la recherche du temps perdu , to the point of forming an olfactory (and cognitive) underlay. The aesthetic impact of these odors warrants further investigation, starting with a reconstruction of the “problem of smell” in Proust’s Paris. The treatment of smell in the novel seems, in fact, particularly subversive, against the backdrop of the physical and cultural atmosphere in which the novel was conceived and published. KEYWORDS – smell, sensory culture, breathing, miasma, 1900s Paris
