Visitors are invited on a journey of connection and delight, engaging all their senses in an unforgettable evening of community. Upon entering the space, they are greeted by a symphony of captivating aromas, each carefully curated to evoke specific moods or atmospheres. The air is alive with special scents that transport visitors back through the centuries.
Guests are then escorted to a long communal table bathed in pleasant light, where they take their seats and prepare to indulge in a feast for the senses. However, the installation offers more than just an olfactory journey; it’s an immersive sensory trip that engages all facets of the human experience. Throughout the space, interactive installations invite guests to explore the connection between scent and memory, allowing them to unlock hidden stories and emotions with each inhalation.
