Description

Scent Imprints & Mnemonic Trails is an olfactory art object, translating thematic routes of FoAM’s Anarchive into six fragrances, meant for use on paper or in reading rooms.

The product is comprised of five fragrances in 7.5ml glass vials, a scented origami flower and a booklet containing perfumer’s notes, packaged in a hardcover box padded with Fibrease wood foam. The box is available in two versions: a limited edition wrapped in textured paper and a special edition featuring a book cloth containing yarns derived from ocean bound plastic. 

Five fragrances can be dispersed on test strips, on books or bookmarks, diffused in the air of home libraries and reading nooks. Four perfumes are safe to use on the skin. The Sixth Scent can be experienced using a unique origami diffuser.
