That Sun-Cream Smell: Why Scent Souvenirs are Worth a Nillion Photos 14pt/16,8pt We ask home-fragrance pioneers, Earl of East, how to go about kindling destinations through scent and why a single sucker-punch of a candle is scientifically proven to be more evocative than a million photos on your camera roll.

10pt/12pt We have apps that saturate sun-baked shores and enhance shadowy glades in Scandinavian forests; filters that supposedly transport us to Tokyo, Lagos, Paris and Jakarta; as well as countless tit-tat lenses that can be snapped on at a moment's notice. In our hyper-visual world, we think nothing of plumping our camera rolls with minute-by-minute, throwaway snaps, but a library of scents? Please.As travellers, we often talk about "following your nose", but what does it really mean? It means more than ducking into

a tasty-smelling trattoria or lusting over a seductively scented stranger. To follow your nose is to follow your gut; to prioritise instinct over rationality. There's real science behind it," says Niko Dafkos, one half of the duo behind the Hackney-based shop, Earl of East. He and his partner, Paul Firmin, have been evoking far-off destinations through meticulously mixed scent profiles since the early teenies. They launched their shop In 2014 and the rest is history.

7pt/8,4pt "We call it the 'blind smell test'," says Niko. "You have the creative brief in front of you and you smell pre-selected but seemingly random scents and see what triggers similar emotional experiences to those that you've written down on your piece of paper. You're matching it without trying to overcomplicate it or to be clever about it."

15 SEPTEMBER, 2020 Words by Robbie Hodges

It's all to do with the brain's limbic system, a network of structures responsible for processing smell, memory and emotion. It's this interrelationship that makes smell such a powerful proponent of mood, and part of the reason why aromatherapy is often so effective in alleviating anxiety and depression.
