Olfaction as a contemporary culture
Odors tell the story of our time. Through its studies, speeches, creations and international collaborations, Cinquième Sens connects culture, market and usage. A way to nourish knowledge, open new perspectives and bring the sense of smell into the field of contemporary major cultures.
