Two fishermen wearing T-shirts and yellow boots in the supermarket, leaving a trail of fish smell so strong you could follow their steps.

Researching for my theme park smell book.

An article about a major theme park features a photo of their smell samples but says they won't name the supplier because it is top secret.

I went to save the photo, and the supplier is in the file name. ๐Ÿ™‚

Does anyone happen to know of any sources suggesting smells at Versailles during the reign of Louis XIV?

(1/2) Textiles historians... I am trying to think through what textiles dyed with aniline dyes in the second half of the nineteenth century would have smelled like. Despite aniline's fishy smell in its raw form my reading so far would seem to indicate (by absence of refs to smell)...

Over its lifetime, Tomb Blaster has diffused scents like Potpourri, Ginger and Cocoa in its market-themed queue. The ride scenes have been scented with Egyptian Mummy, which is a historical interpretation also used by museums. These pictures are from 2021.

Efteling's jasmine-scented Chinese Nightingale display is being retired.

Here is a sneaky photograph of the Death entity figure. It is hidden opposite the stage, under the space visitors stand on. When lights illuminate it, it appears as a ghostly apparition, reflecting against glass onstage.
