Sensory Workshops for Care Homes
Memory • Emotion • Wellbeing through Scent
Olfactory sessions using five curated scents to stimulate memory, emotion and wellbeing.

Art of Smell offers gentle, immersive sensory workshops built around five carefully selected scents, renewed each month, designed to stimulate emotional memory, encourage personal expression, and bring moments of calm and pleasure to residents.

These workshops are adapted for elderly participants, including those with mild cognitive decline, and support emotional connection, relaxation, and overall wellbeing.
