The smell and the sense of smell is one of the most undervalued senses which define our relationship with the outside world. As the sense of “contact” it confirms the materiality and the reality of the world; as a “practical” sense, it gives us the basic orientation in the world. The sense of smell plays a key role in the evaluation of the environment and the way we situate themselves in it and experience it multi-sensory. Everything that surrounds us give out a smell that we perceive as pleasant or unpleasant, arousing pleasant associations or disgust. We react to it by the power of first impressions. Its cultural validity confirms two-step process of deodorisation – i.e. elimination unpleasant odours from the public and private space and aromatisation – introducing artificially produced pleasant smells. Smell surround us and affect the evaluation of the environment. In this sense, the smell identifies a place. The association of ephemeral smell with atmospheric of a place indicates that the smell should be recognized as an important element of the atmosphere introduced by G. Böhme.

Olfaction is the science about the language of scents, of the meanings conveyed through scents, and the role of scents in communication. The use of olfaction code in reading M. Shishkin’s Letter Book explains anew its meaning and helps to comprehend more deeply the dynamics of contradictory feelings of its heroes driven by the thirst for life, love, living suffering and the approaching of death.

The paper refers to the ways of categorizing the five senses, i.e. sight, hearing, smell, taste, and the tactile sense, as they are represented in the Slavic languages. The case of perception involves several participants and several ways of perception: 1) active perception, which is an action in itself (смотреть ‘to look’, слушать ‘to listen’, нюхать ‘to smell, to recognize smell’, пробовать на вкус ‘to taste, to experience the flavor of food or drink’, щупать ‘to touch’); 2) passive perception, which in itself is a condition (видеть ‘to see’, слышать ‘to hear’, ощущать запах ‘to smell, be able to smell things’, чувствовать вкус ‘to taste, be able to experience the flavor of food or drink’, осязать ‘to feel’); 3) a perceptive (eyes, ears, nose, skin, tongue); 4) a percept (appearance, sound, smell, taste, texture); 5) perceptive predicates (qualities, capabilities) (выглядеть ‘to seem’, звучать ‘to sound’, пахнуть ‘to smell, to have a particular smell’, иметь вкус ‘to taste, to have a particular flavor’, иметь фактуру ‘to feel, to have a particular texture’). Whilst in some cases of perception the language contains the vocabulary to describe most – if not all – components of the situation, in other cases it demonstrates the lack of certain words. The only sense that is characterized with a complete paradigm is the sense of hearing (to listen, to hear, listener, sound, to sound) with *čuti and its derivates being able to have a general meaning of perception in itself; on the contrary, the vocabulary related to the sense of taste turns out to be the poorest. On the one hand, the vocabulary of physical perception is universally tied to the lexis of emotions (e.g. чувство любви ‘feeling of love’, чувство отчаяния ‘feeling of despair’, чувство долга ‘sense of duty’ etc); on the other hand, it is connected with the “mental” vocabulary (i.e. to see ‘to understand’, ‘to be conscious of’, ‘to think’ etc.). This fact can be interpreted as an attempt to express the “continuity” of the human inner world; the non-strict discretization of certain ways of perception and delimited sensual, emotional, and mental areas by means of the language.

Zmysły odgrywają kluczową rolę w życiu człowieka. Dzięki pionierskiemu w socjologii podejściu do zmysłów jako bytów społecznych, a nie jedynie fizjologicznych, Georg Simmel zmienił nie tylko perspektywę postrzegania zjawisk zmysłowych, ale zwrócił uwagę na istotę poznania wielozmysłowego zjawisk społecznych. Zwrócenie uwagi na rolę sensoryki w konstruowaniu rzeczywistości społecznej przyczyniło się niewątpliwie do stworzenia przez niego podstaw dla rozwoju wąskiej specjalizacji zwanej socjologią zmysłów. Zapach jest elementem doświadczenia prawie wszystkich ludzi. Proces uspołecznienia, któremu człowiek podlega, jest również procesem socjalizacji zapachowej. Zapach ma istotne znaczenie przy nabywaniu bądź zmianie ról społecznych; oddziałuje na nas w wymiarach fizycznym, psychicznym i społecznym.

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.
