The upcoming meetup we will focus on THE ABSENCE OF SMELL!

We will talk about anosmia, the inability to smell. Susann who lost her sense of smell after an accident, will share her story with us.

Looking forward to meeting you...

In our upcoming meetup session on Tuesday evening we want to focus on the smells of winter time. Don't you think there are so many well known and interesting smells around the Christmas time? And don't you also get annoyed sometimes by this overload of artificially scented Christmas candles or shower gels and stuff like that?! Let's bring these smells and thoughts together and discuss about it. 

In this meetup we will do some fun testings and tryouts with smells, have discussions about it and will also welcome a design students class from Maastricht (NL)! Feel free to join us!

This meet-up we will watch a movie and after - some guys from last meet-up will check their created fragrances how the smell has changed after 4 weeks... and of course they can take away their „parfume“!

This meetup we will explore our scent-archive. There we have so many essential oils from industry production as well as our own produced collected smells... Feel free to join with your nose, let´s combine some scents to make new strange smells and let´s think about what to do with them! If we have additional time, we can watch a documentary about the sense of smell...

Let´s go deeper...
