The Journey of smell

Frame Challenge

What is home? A place? A certain comfort? A time of your life? Or do we all agree that home is people that make you feel like you are in the right place at the right time like you belong there no matter what?

Is that why we keep photographs, handwritten letters and bunch of little reminders of what it was to feel that way? We want those emotions and feelings to last for as long as we are, regardless where we are.

However, we believe visual triggers have their limit and fail to work where the sense of smell does not.

Therefore, we decided to create scent-capturing and scent-replicating device that you can program for scent sequences of your choice to create your unique very personal home fragrance.

Will it be freshly baked cookies, a cherry blossom garden near your summer house, an afternoon breeze by the ocean, or maybe fried stinky tofu along with all the street food smell pallet that you used to have just around the corner? Or will it be our belo ved one’s scent? Parents? Brother or sister? Husband? Wife? Children? Best friend? - Grandma’s hands scent!

This is a home fragrance that makes you feel comfortable when you are sick, bringing emotions and triggering emotions.

“I am barely human. I’m more like a creature; to me, everything gives off a scent! Thoughts, moments, feelings, movements, words left unsaid, words barely spoken; they all have a distinct sense, distinct fragrances! Both a smell and a touch! To inhale is to capture, to experience! I can perceive and I can “touch” in so many odd ways! And so I am made up of all these scents, all these feelings! An illumination of nerve endings!” - C. JoyBell C.
