There's a long passage in the Patrick Suskind's novel _Perfume_ that is an extraordinarily evocative description of the main character building an imaginary palace of smells. He also imagines "constructing" new smells, similar to what's described here. The books does an amazing job of evoking smells using only text. Highly recommended. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfume_(novel) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfume_(novel)
