Smell to Memories

“Smell to memories”, is a series of products that use scent to help people find topics or start awkward social events. Its designer, Jiaxi Zhang, noticed in an experiment that when people smell something, they naturally prefer describing the smell and sharing their feelings with others. People always say “Oh, it smells like…” or “It reminds me of…”, which is a great opportunity to create conversation in a gathering of strangers.
