Berthollet (1748-1822) denied the tmth of the law of constant proportion, and a controversy ensued between this chemist and Proust (1755-1826), who undertook a research to settle the question, the results of which were in entire agreement with the law, and were regarded as completely substantiating it. 

A.A. Proust, the father of Marcel the novelist, spotted the error and provided the correction in 1877 O). Proust, in fact. 

I begin the final chapter of this book with a famous quotation from Marcel Proust ... 

The sense of smell in humans is not limited to detection of those volatile molecules inhaled through the nose, termed orthonasal olfaction. Molecules released at the back of the mouth, particularly in the chewing of food, can make their way up through the nasopharynx to the olfactory epithelium, termed retronasal olfaction. This system is activated when air is exhaled. Orthonasal olfaction is used to detect the scent of flowers and perfumes, food aromas, the presence of skunks, and the like. Retronasal olfaction detects the volatile molecules released from food. It is retronasal olfaction that makes a major olfactory contribution to the taste of food. And it is retronasal olfaction that helped to elicit Proust s profound reaction to a madeleine dipped in tea. 

Odors affect human behavior more than we realize. They are now appreciated as important in human health and disease. Above all, the powerful role of learning is impressive. Odors become associated with pleasant and unpleasant experiences and can retain their hedonic value lifelong. This applies to food, to social and sexual relationships, and to environments such as houses, workplaces, or landscapes. Writers rather than scientists have described such anecdotes. In Remembrances of Things Past, Marcel Proust evoked a flood of childhood memories by the taste of a madeleine dipped in lime-blossom tea. Jean-Paul Sartre tells in his autobiography Les Mots how the halitosis of his grade-school teacher became to him the odor of authority.
