Our Sense
of Smell
Used Consciously
What + Why?
Dei Sensi's purpose is to expand our appreciation, understanding and the potential uses of scent and our sense of smell. Pioneering new techniques and restoring old that bring this Sense to the forefront of an increasingly online world.
Our sense of smell influences 75% of our daily emotions, and as a result also how also we perceive and interact with the world around us. Scents communicate feelings, drive behaviour, store memories and fabricate identities of places. But little of this is done consciously (yet).
Our work at Dei Sensi, is to fully engage this power of scent through carefully curated scent-based tools for richer experiences.
Introducing ‘the olfactory element’ to a space, idea, daily routine or classroom.
Services include; /olfactory spatial design / exhibition consultancy / Educational Workshops + Events / and more.
Our Services
Olfactory Spatial Design is the invisible architecture within any space. Scents that are specifically created can enhance the purpose of the space whilst enriching its unique indentity. We create environmental scents that complement the functional intention, materials already present and style.
