How Bad Would It Have Smelled In A Medieval City?
- Waterluvian 10y agoI'm fascinated by the idea that there are likely a lot of smells which are nearly unaffected by time. Wildflowers on the countryside probably smell very similar regardless of what century you're in. I wonder if there might be a "standard candle" of smell? I'm also fascinated by the concept of a scientific endeavour to describe smell through a reproducible apparatus. One could describe a method that could closely reproduce a smell. Ie. in order to know what ____ smelled like, take these base ingredients and do these things with them. I wonder if this was ever attempted.
