This research examines the relationship between scent and dress in the Flemish region during the eighteenth century, using printed household manuals and private household journals to explore the practices of scenting before, during, and after dressing. This dissertation builds on the results of my master's thesis, which studied early modern scenting practices of England and France and helped identify the primary sources for this project. The research showed that scenting garments and linen was a common practice ingrained in daily life for people of all social classes and genders and that these scenting practices changed over time. This research project will contribute to the studies of early modern dress and olfactory history, which are severely lacking for Flanders, and highlights the inseparability of scent and dress in early modern society. It also argues that debates around scenting and dressing practices are crucial to understanding the sociological context of this complex period in European history. Dress history is not merely a study of objects, it is also a study of how—and why—humans interacted with these objects.
