FEATURED STORY

Scent has an amazing power to evoke and transport, to bring back a sudden memory of somewhere or someone once loved and long forgotten...

GENESIS

GENESIS... HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Every piece of music has a distinct aroma that conveys the atmosphere through the pulse and veins of the song. What is so interesting is that it has a distinct aroma to it, and each movement has its own odor, attitude, and sensation. Beethoven painstakingly wrote this violin concerto for us. There are flavors as though performing this concerto is similar to having an act of coitus interrupts. Through my personal interpretation and impression of the composer and the pieces themselves, I will create a distinctive fragrance to complement the thoughts and moods in the compositions.

UNFOLDING THE SCENTS

Smells Ring Bells - Scents bypass the thalamus and go straight to the brain's smell center, known as the olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb is directly connected to the amygdala and hippocampus, which might explain why the smell of something can so immediately trigger a detailed memory or even intense emotion.

The olfactory bulb has direct connections to two brain areas that are strongly implicated in emotion and memory: the amygdala and hippocampus. Interestingly, visual, auditory (sound), and tactile (touch) information do not pass through these brain areas. This may be why olfaction, more than any other sense, is so successful at triggering emotions and memories
