Obsession's obsession

Using perfume in a space connects the primitive obsession with smell to a site that exists for the visual. Perfume originally had a medical function. The aromas in this installation have been known for a long time in Egypt and Tibet, etc. One side is the 'top note', the other is the 'base note', and were magical substances, which worked at different speeds.

The strength of the perfumes changes with your standpoint. The perfumes will float slightly throughout the whole space and in your mind. You may be reminded of something you have smelled before. You might think of a particular memory.

The fragrance will be differ depending on your pH balance.

Perfumes (smells) are strongly link to personal memories, just like music.
