Smell Words
We don’t have enough words for scent — so we steal. From touch, from taste, from sound, from light. The second edition of Smell Words holds over 300 terms to expand the way we name what we smell.
Portals
In Portals, we embrace the imprecision of language, approaching scent as a conduit to the divine. Ten scents selected at random conjure false memories, enabling time travel, teleportation, hyperphantasia — opening portals to imagined worlds.
First and final printing. Now sold out.
Another Grey City
What would it mean to be still? Another Grey City: A Scented Story by Noele Lusano is a personal exploration of place, movement and belonging through the lens of scent. Each copy of the book is accompanied by a scent strip of Treasure & Dreams, a marine gourmand perfume created by the author.
