Such a great day in Grenoble discussing olfactory heritage — inspiring talks and stimulating encounters with perfumers, artists, and researchers. So inspiring to see scents bringing people together!

Curious to hear from scholars working on scent, crafts, material culture, or multisensory history. Let’s connect!
