Background: As historic neighborhoods underwent renewal, scents memories gradually faded. The commercialization of these areas erased the natural rhythms of life in the old streets, along with the distinctive scents that once accompanied them.
Method: As visitors approach a specific location, a scent related to historical memories is suddenly triggered. They look around the built environment, contemplate the source of the scent, and use a mobile app to scan and identify it, gaining insight into the past life memories associated with the place.
