Handleiding

Experiment

1. Put one or two drops of one of the

perfume oils on a smell strip.

2. Sniff it very intensively and have your

friend do the same.

3. Write down what you smell and what

this fragrance reminds you of. It is quite

possible that your friend has a completely

different memory from yours in connection

with each of the smells.

4. Tell each other what the fragrance

meant to you and continue with the other

fragrances.

> What is going on? The nose reports

a fragrance to the limbic system in your

brain. This system will immediately

determine what this fragrance means to

you. If you have experienced this fragrance

earlier, your memory of it will be revived

and you will know immediately what

fragrance it is or in which situation you

have smelled it before. For example, one

fragrance reminds you of a sunny green

meadow with cows.

PAINTING PICTURES

WITH FRAGRANCES

Fragrances can help us recall memories.

Now, let’s use this knowledge for another

experiment.

> Materials from the kit: perfume oils

> Additional materials: smell strips

(see page 5), pencil, markers or watercolors,

paper

Experiment

1. Prepare some smell strips as in the

previous experiment.

2. Sniff a smell strip and draw or paint a

picture, first in your head, then on paper.

Draw what you feel. It can be a single color,

a shape, an abstract picture, or a realistic

scene.

3. Perhaps only one drop of a single

fragrance is enough to evoke a complete

picture. If not, supplement the picture with

the impression from additional drops of

fragrances, or draw a complete story of

several pictures.

> A tip: If you do this experiment

with a friend, you will probably have two

totally different pictures. But with some

fragrances, you may both paint the same

picture because you both associate a

fragrance with a similar memory.

> By the way: You can also try this

experiment with music. Sniff a fragrance

and think of a song that it reminds you of.
