STATE TRANSFORMATION

Dry vs Wet

Water can change how a material releases, carries and is perceived through smell.

Same material, different state

Dry stone and wet stone can feel like different smell identities even when the underlying material is related.

Rain, humidity, surface temperature and surrounding air can become part of the experience.

SmellBook treats state as something worth preserving rather than flattening everything into one object label.
