Every inhalation a new surprise
According to other artists in the smell art community, the Smeller does what no one else in the intervening time period has ever managed to do: it pumps a series of defined, distinct smells into the room, one after the next.

No sound, no visuals, just a scent, and then another, every inhalation a new surprise.
