Spira Memoriae is an olfactory VR experience where rare fragrances, created with Tennessee Macdougall, explore collective memory and the tensions between disappearance and persistence.
In a world where ecosystems are dying out and certain smells are evaporating forever, what becomes of the places and stories that gave them meaning? Spira Memoriae is an immersive virtual reality olfactory experience that invites you to journey through a fragmented sensory universe. Original fragrances created with perfumer Tennessee Macdougall extend the reflection: beacons of an abstract landscape, they reveal rare materials, sometimes extinct, but anchored in the collective memory. Smell becomes a vehicle for storytelling, transmission, and shared fiction.
