Mellow Yellow is a physical representation of one of my olfactory drawings. A composite of the DNA analysis reproduced in several colours, representative of the various notes within the scent. How to describe an olfactory drawing? Well it’s a bit tricky to convey a smell through words; after all it took Marcel Proust nearly two thousand to describe his 'petites madeleines'; so here goes. Imagine a carton of popcorn, take it in your hands and slowly bring it to your nose, breathe in the aromas, let the smells of the sugar, warm cardboard and buttery sweetness roll in your nostrils, inhale deeply, now close your eyes for 10 seconds. Just the thought of that smell is enough to give each of you a different picture, a vision of a memory unique to you, a personal drawing in your mind. A smell is an amazing thing, it can summon visions of memories long past, it can make you imagine a summers day or remember a long lost love, it can make you happy, sad, and even uncomfortable. Smell is the only sense directly connected to our brain, we actually smell with our brain, not our nose. Okay, so there we have our answer, an olfactory drawing is; in essence; a smell – a smell that has been created specifically to invoke particular emotions or mental imagery.
