My thoughts on scent, space,
atmosphere and the invisible
things that shape experience.

THE INVISIBLE POWER OF SCENT
THE INVISIBLE POWER OF SCENT
You can't see scent,
But you can feel what it does.
It can change the atmosphere of a room,
It can make a space feel calmer,
More alive, more grounded, more focused.
It can bring back nostalgic memories you didnt know you still carried
It can make you feel at home.
It can even change the way you experience a place
And the truth is, that's the most fascinating thing i find most about scent.
Its presence may be invisible, but its effect doesn't have to be.

YOUR SPACE HAS
YOUR SPACE HAS
A FEELING
A FEELING
Do you ever notice how different your home
feels from everywhere else,
when you walk through the door,
You cant see it, but can feel it. it's an unconscious feeling.
You just take a breathe in, and something in you says
"We are home now".
Your body begins to settle
Your shoulder drops,
Your nervous system feels relaxed
You feel familiar with the atmosphere
You feel like you can be part of a familiar space,
Somethings are only felt, not seen.

LINE TO EMOTION
Scent is an attenttion seeker,
It can reach us without asking for our attention
Have you noticed how there's a shift in the atmosphere,
just by pereceiving scents.
There's a strong connectio with the brain and sense
of smell.
It just connects emotions and memory -
It is why a scent can suddenly change how a place feels.
