I blunder through more scents

Posted by Robin on 11 February 2014 5 Comments

I blunder through more scents. My attempt to describe a salty wine: ‘Pineapple’. A fragrance intended for a rugged, outdoorsy beefcake: ‘Ooh! Christmassy!’ At one point, I get so confused that I feel like I’ve just spent ten minutes sniffing a man. And I resort to the spittoon to avoid getting completely twatted. That’s right, ladies: I spit rather than swallow.

— Alexi Duggins of Now. Here. This. (possibly, the wrong person for the job) attends a Sip/Sniff wine and perfume event in London hosted by Odette Toilette and Berkmann Wine Cellars.

Aroma jockeys

Posted by Robin on 19 September 2011 4 Comments

A vibrating dance floor and "aroma jockeys" spreading scents are set to bring a new kind of disco experience to London that can be enjoyed by deaf as well as hearing clubbers. [...] The vibrating dance floor responds to the bass frequency of the music. Sign dancers visually interpret the tracks and Signmark, a deaf Finnish rapper, will perform. Video jockeys and DJs will be joined by the aroma jockeys who will aim to convert the emotion of the music into smells.

— "Sencity" debuts in London on October 8 at indigO2; read more at Bet it smells good on the dance floor: Aroma jockeys, sign dancers and vibrating floors at disco for deaf. Hat tip to Bela!
