This project explores the connection between scent, memory, and spatial experience. When we leave a place, what lingers is not only the image of its scenery, but also the invisible traces of its scent — a sensory fragment that can awaken buried memories and transport us back to a specific moment in time.

To materialize this idea, the project proposes a device that can capture and preserve scents. The process begins by scanning and archiving the chosen environment through a camera. A jellyfish-inspired robot then analyzes the air composition, collecting data about its unique olfactory elements. Using this data, a specialized system reproduces the scent molecules and stores them within a sealed capsule called the “Aroma Pod.”

Users can later enter an immersive “bathing chamber,” where the Aroma Pod, paired with VR visuals, a scent mask, and mist diffusion, recreates the multisensory atmosphere of the original scene—allowing them to revisit memories through smell.
