Paragraph 1
What did the
century smell like? A
of researchers wants to find out. Scientists, historians and
have embarked on a $3.3 million
to identify and recreate the
from the 16th and early 20th centuries. The project is called "Odeuropa: Negotiating Olfactory and Sensory Experiences in
Heritage Practice and Research". They will develop an
encyclopaedia of smells that will include
of those that are specific to
times. The website will include insights into the
created by the smells in bygone centuries.
