A place is a mixture
Sea air, stone, traffic, bread, flowers and building materials can overlap into one remembered environment.
EXPLAINER
Smell & Place
Places can have smell identities created by materials, weather, activity, food, vegetation and expectation.
Time changes place
Morning, rain, summer heat and seasonal activity can all change the same location’s smell profile.
SmellBook direction
Place pages can eventually connect environments to the individual smells and contexts that contribute to them.
A place profile describes perception and context, not a permanent objective odor signature.
