[Smell and care: from professionalism to emotions]. / Odeurs et soins, du professionnalisme aux émotions.

The sense of smell presents itself to us as a means of forging an opinion of a situation, sending us back to our memories and giving us a form of knowledge of the patient. In addition, besides the obvious repulsion that certain wounds can engender, the sense of smell can also, conversely, lead us into an eroticization of care.
