A sharply focused introduction to each chapter further puts the decade - and its fragrance fashion - in perspective. The 10 chapters - each devoted to a single decade - examine 10 different perfumes that influenced that decade. Just as abrupt, the sensory expression of milk in your mind was gone - and the odor of the same smelling strip (still in your hands) now transformed, quite clearly in your mind, to ham.Fragrance has always been wrapped in social and economic issues, controversy, memories and history as Lizzie Ostrom so persuasively shows in the lively “Perfume: A Century of Scents.” (How could you have not smelled it before?) Shortly after, he changed the image to ham. yet with a somewhat mysterious character for the mind to grasp.
was it pleasant or unpleasant? Hard to tell. At some point, Laudamiel handed out some smelling strips to the audience. While writing my own book on the sense and science of smell ( Smellosophy: What the Nose Tells the Mind), I had the fortune of experiencing one of Laudamiel's olfactory presentations at a workshop at Columbia University in 2017 (here's a recording). More than mentioning such creative institutional displays, let me describe what happens in your mind with the experience of olfactory artworks. What's it like? The experience of olfactory art (How's that for smell communicating conceptual content via art!) In a way, such an experience resembles the intended effects of music like Smetana's The Moldau, a composition following the river Moldau through the rhythms and variations of themes. It is as if you are walking on a field, and your spotlight of attention gets intentionally directed to various scenery elements. Or they sometimes subtly blend into another so that your conscious awareness may shift from the olfactory presence of a green-earthy smell such as grass to the green-fruity scent of apple. Odors sometimes appear in staccato, meaning they enter separately and detached from their predecessors and successors. It boasts 64 tubes (with some intricate wiring and fans) that fill and empty a room almost instantly with an odor - or two or three - in whatever length and series intended.Ĭompare the experience of The Smeller with a piece of music where notes appear in various forms of succession involving their combination or separation. Osmodrama, or Smeller 2.0, is an enormous construction by the German artist Wolfgang Georgsdorf. Source: Wiki-Schaf/Wikimedia Examples of olfactory art
