Enjoy homely aromas at Shakespeare's Birthplace! 🕯️

Ginger, bread, the fireplace and candles are among the lifelike smells being used. These are both ambiently diffused and also accessible via sniffable containers. 🔥🍞🫚

What's that frightful smell?

Is it manure? A skunk? A sewer? A cake shop?

It's all those things and more at Doncaster Fear Factory! 😱

It wasn't until I finished editing this that I realised it's probably incorrect to call her 'Antoinette' like it's a surname. More importantly, what did she smell like? 🍰

AromaPrime's Milk Chocolate scent was used in a new study! 🍫

Huge thanks as always to @aromaprime.bsky.social and @liamrfindlay.bsky.social for providing such pungent (and foetid) odours for the occasion!

Had a great time back at York today subjecting my audience to the delightful sights and smells of early modern cancer cases. If you’re looking for a particularly smelly seminar experience, I’m happy to oblige!
