So What Does Music Smell Like?

You probably wonder what he heck it means to know what a piece or a style of music might smell like. there is some validity to the music and the impact on what it might smell like.

Conceptually what I orignally was referring to was the combination of smells with the right kind of music to find a soothing or relaxing place. Or perhaps the music and smell that might get you pumped up to go to your workout.

But some companies believe so much in music bringing smells to mind that they also are inventing devinces that will spray certain scnts out for certain pieces of music (maybe some ocean air for a Beach Boys songs?).

These devices would be like a paint mixer at your local hardware store. It would hold a certain number of base oil smells (five or six), and then any combination of these oils would be combined for what the device thinks should be the aroma for the song being played.

It's all very interesting and a little quirky but there is some validity in the connection between music and smell, in most cases people are looking for this particular combination in very specific circumstances, when they are trying to relax. Perhaps with the advance of science and more acceptance we will be able to use music and aroma to trigger other actions, behaaviors and feelings other than calmness.
