New British Library Exhibition Smell Station

The new Fairy Tales exhibition at the British Library features potion bottles for sniffing!

Musty, Cinnamon and Garlic Aroma Blocks have been used to create this fantastical, interactive experience.

Thanks to Alex T. Smith for the photograph!

The Aroma Blocks are concealed within chambers beneath the table surface, with openings so that the scents emit into the hollow vessels secured to the top of the table. Visitors can sniff the open tops of the vessels, with the illusion that the vessels are filled with scented ingredients.

The vessels were originally used for a smell station by AVM Curiosities at the British Library's Medieval Women Exhibition. For this exhibition, AromaPrime was asked to create the stench of the Devil as described in a piece of literature.
