A new exhibition is bringing in a master chocolatier, a scent expert and an audio specialist to change the way people interact with the paintings
Boutique perfumeries producing custom-made fragrances offer customers craftsmanship and choice, writes Lance Richardson.
Back when people communicated more often through physical letters, there was a strong market for perfumed stationery. One sniff, it is said, could bring a rush of memories or longings.

Air Sculpture® Finnish-Hungarian Osmolanguage #5 is the fourth scent created by Christophe Laudamiel for the festival and is being played in the air via Prolitec®scent players at some of the functions and performances.
