Smell Art

Hi, I'm Erin Adams, and I started Smell Art because I believe that scent is an incredibly important part of our everyday lives and it is the perfect way to combine my love for art and science.

As a society, we tend to prioritize sight and sound over smell, and I'm passionate about helping people realize the potential that scent has to enrich our experiences and deepen our connection with the world around us.

My interest in olfactory art began in 2007 at a scented music concert in Melbourne. Since then, I've been immersing myself in the world of olfactory art, practicing scent design, attending workshops and exhibitions, and reading everything I can get my hands on about the science of smell and scent design. I am inspired by the Institute for Art and Olfaction in LA and am committed to being part of the Open Source Smell Culture they've fostered.

I'm excited to share my passion for scent and smell education with you and to help you discover the incredible potential that scent has to enhance art, events, and everyday life.
