The Science of Smell
“How do you imagine our relationship to scent will evolve?

Scent curator, researcher and “professional provocateur” Sissel Tolaas is currently exploring the aromatic potential of bacteria in her ongoing investigation into the most mysterious and evocative of our senses. Raised between Iceland and Norway, for a decade Tolaas has called Berlin home, where she has been building an extensive and ever-growing library cataloguing different smells—now over 7000.
