Routine builds recognition
Office paper, coffee, warm electronics and shared rooms can become strong daily smell landmarks.
EXPLAINER
Smell & Workplaces
Workplaces combine paper, electronics, furniture, food, cleaning, ventilation and people into repeated daily smell environments.
Shared spaces need restraint
Workplace scenting should consider ventilation, sensitivities and the fact that people cannot always leave a shared environment.
Context belongs in the atlas
Office, classroom and sports hall profiles show that a place smell is often a mixture of materials and use.
Workplace smell profiles are descriptive and not occupational-health or indoor-air-quality assessments.
