Smell-Festival Internazionale dell’Olfatto (International Smell) takes place every year in Bologna (Italy) during the last week of May.

This year the festival opens on Tuesday, May 24 through Sunday, May 29th at two historical locations, the Museo della Musica (Music Museum) and Museo Archeologico (Archaeological Museum).

This grand event is open to the public and it pays special attention to the ‘sense of smell and the art of perfumery’. The Smell-Festival is dedicated to history, quality and innovation with concerns to flavors and fragrances at the core.

This year’s theme is dedicated to the Symbolic and Ritual side of perfumery and to help the theme become a reality,there are various participants from all over the world to share their creations and interpretations of "spirituality and rituals".

The artist/perfumers at this year’s Smell-Festival is Emilie Bouge (France), Perfumer and owner of Brecourt, Enrico Buccella (Italy), Perfumer for Laboratorio Olfattivo, Yosh Han (United States), Perfumer and owner of Yosh Perfumery and Vero Kern (Switzerland), Perfumer and owner of Vero Profumo.

Yosh Han

Perfumers were not only invited but authors, journalists, entrepreneurs some local and abroad will share in the experience of enlightment through the arts!

I had an opportunity to speak with Yosh Han to get an inside look at what she will be featuring at the Smell-Festival.

“This will be my second presentation in Bologna. I did 'Smell of Black' last year. This year I will present Scented Hanami Haiku and Tea Tasting and an Aromatic Healing Meditation for Japan”.

Yosh will make her debut on Saturday, May 28th and I am very sure, she will impress the audience.

Smell-Festival Internazionale dell’Olfatto is created by the Artistic Director, Francesca Faruolo.

The word "belles lettres" is a French phrase meaning "beautiful or "fine writing. Since this is a term to describe a category of writing, this will pertain to my passion about fragrances. I will review niche,natural, artisan and designer perfumes from all over the world. I write with passion but will use my journalistic skills that I obtained in college. Not only will I feature fragrances but I will feature new books on fragrances/perfumes, fragrance events and interview authors and perfumers.

I hope you take this journey with me and begin your own passion for the ART OF PERFUMERY!
