From a misty cloud of peppermint and lime comes a series of dances, crushed hearts and damp soil. Whiffcraft takes us to a world of fragmented, distorted, and made-up memories. Whiffcraft envelops you with sounds and whiffs, in a lemonade of dances and scents.
Scents have been shown to trigger strong memories, especially emotional ones. This phenomenon is called “The Proust effect”,an intense reliving of events from the past, triggered by scents or flavors. Memories, emotions and moods connected to scents was the starting point for the making of Whiffcraft.
