01

More than recognition.

Odour perception is closely linked with learning, emotion and memory. A familiar smell can bring associations to mind, but those associations are deeply personal.

02

Not the same memory.

A woody note might suggest a library to one person and a workshop to another. A brand cannot know that history without asking you.

03

Let your words lead.

In your scent journal, begin with "This reminds me of…" rather than searching for a correct answer. The meaning belongs to you.
