We criticise UK theme parks for unthemed construction barriers that spoil the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, *Buckingham Palace* has its regal facade permanently littered with these 👷‍♂️

It wasn't until I finished editing this that I realised it's probably incorrect to call her 'Antoinette' like it's a surname. More importantly, what did she smell like? 🍰

@aromaprime.bsky.social supported AVM Curiosities in the development of a smell for the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Yesterday, I was excited to find smell stations in Harrods!

A staff member told me that they had been inspired by smell stations in a Bordeaux wine museum.

Visual representations of the smells featured are seen within bell jars. The smells actually come from within the table structures. 💨

More old documents

This is my big drawer of themed smell history!

It is full of documents and artefacts, some going back decades. I often refer to these when working on my smell handbook.

Do you recognise anything here? 🔍

I was interviewed for a Japanese newspaper, The Asahi Shimbun!

The article talks about the AromaPrime smells onboard the museum ship Brunel's SS Great Britain.

Does anyone else hear it as "Woahl come to this happy place"

It was wonderful to attend the IAAPA Expo Europe, representing @aromaprime.bsky.social! 🎡

At the airport to go home, and the IAAPA networking continues!

On the same flight as Tom and Ruth from Blooloop ✨

A lovely first day at the IAAPA Expo Europe, and a treat to find my project about historic Disneyland smells in Park World magazine!

Having a lovely time at the IAAPA Expo Europe after the plane for Barcelona landed in Valencia last night due to a storm and I banded together with a ragtag team to drive down the coast for several hours before getting to my hotel at 6:30am

Disney Dan Becker is joined by @liamrfindlay.bsky.social ‬- a Theme Park & Museum Smell Specialist! They discuss the history of smells in theme parks and Dan gets to sample what Disneyland smelled like in the 60's!

Respectfully, AI generated imagery in an event poster communicates that it's an amateur production 🤓

Back home after a brilliant day at York as part of their Public History Conference where I hosted a workshop on the ethics of using sensory technology in heritage, museums, and historical research. Many a smell was sniffed!

Why thank you!

This week's odious interview is now on BBC Sounds:

There were more children than I expected, and it makes sense, because it's a brilliant place for children to explore and stay occupied over multiple visits.

An interview with me by Daniel Pascoe will be on BBC West / South West radio this evening at 7:30pm, covering @aromaprime.bsky.social 😊👃

Wake the Tiger, a theatrical and surreal, exploratory themed experience in Bristol, exceeded expectations.

AromaPrime is busy preparing spooky smells for Alton Towers Resort's Scarefest!

This year, your nose can expect surprises in Edge of the Forest, Altonville Mine Tours, Trick O' Treat Town with HARIBO & MAOAM, Amigos in the Afterlife, COMPOUND and the COMPOUND Behind the Scenes tour! 👃

It's the time of year at @aromaprime.bsky.social where no day ends with all tasks completed!

Lots of exciting and complex projects on the go for Halloween and Christmas 🎃

A favourite day at Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens

Experience: I create smells that scare people The scents that get people gagging the most are usually bin juice or rotting fish
