Nose University Scent Education

As we spend the week honouring the wonders of fragrance, why not celebrate the future of fragrances with our perfumery student. Join us into our Perfumery Trainee Alethea Han’s daily routine! From enjoying a colourful breakfast adorned with strawberries and passing vibrant wisteria on the way to work to evaluating samples and visiting the flower-filled garden, Alethea’s day is packed with aromas, colour and inspired creativity. #givaudanperfume #fragranceweek #futureofperfumery #fragrance #creation #creative #innovation #passion #scents #perfumery

In April, Nose University began development on Scentest Kids, Covid-19 related smell loss screening and training for children.
🌈👃🌈


Sudden smell loss can be an early sign of Covid-19, even before or without the presence of other symptoms. We aim to provide a simple, non-invasive and hygienic smell panel to get kids sniffing and talking.


This practical, fun and age-appropriate scratch n’ sniff test can be administrated by parents at home or staff at school. It will help identify children who may be experiencing sudden onset smell loss and require further evaluation. Such screening in early, even asymptomatic, stages may help reduce transmission of the virus.


Scentest Kids will also provide smell training to children who are experiencing long-lasting (or late onset) Covid-19 related smell dysfunction.


In this phase of development, we are seeking summer camps or schools that are interested in running a Scentest Kids pilot test.


If you’d like to get involved, know someone who could help or for more information, please DM me.


Let’s sniff out Covid-19 related smell loss and help kids transition safely and happily back to school! ✨👃✨

Every student in a Nose University class takes home an evaluation folder with pre-scented blotters enclosed.



This extends their experience, so “noses- in-training” can show off their skills to family and friends and share their newfound knowledge.


With smelling, I always encourage children to continue practicing.

Awesome Scent & Sensory class tonight with the Girl Scouts.

✨✨✨


Girls learned the artistry of perfumery 🎨 and science behind their sense of smell. 🔬



They found their inspiration and made their very own natural rollerball fragrance.
✨🌈✨

The first time I conducted a Scent Education workshop with 7 year olds, I casually threw out the question, “What is your favorite scent memory?”



Because of their young age, I thought they may struggle to come up with a response.


Instead, every hand shot up and each had poignant, funny and interesting memory to share.



I realized that learning about scent is not only fun for kids - but important too.



Connecting to their memories, and sharing them, is a way for children to learn about themselves and each other in a way they might not have before.


This particular child and his scent memory, stayed with me. I hope the smell of fresh cut grass always brings back these memories of childhood for him.

Colors and Scents 🦋

..

We’ve been working on some fun new programs at Nose University, including a look at how color and scent relate to one another to affect human emotions and behavior.



Color, like scent, can be subjective and individual responses, perceptions and association can vary wildly.


It’s exciting to look at color and scent together, to understand how both influence our feelings and memories, and why.


Stay tuned for upcoming workshops ... ✨🌈✨

Isn’t that the truth 🙌🏼 thanks

SpongeBob’s amazing underwater world was the inspiration for Nose University Smells of The Sea programs, in which kids explored the smells of pineapple, tiki flower, sand, jellyfish, ocean and coconut.
