Olfactory design represents the most innovative frontier in contemporary multisensory art. As a scent designer specialized in the artistic and cultural sector, I develop olfactory compositions that amplify narratives, support performances and create immersive experiences for institutions, artists and curators.
My expertise combines technical formulation skills with artistic sensitivity and cultural research, translating complex concepts into sensory language for projects ranging from performance art to thematic exhibitions, from installations to immersive experiences.
Artistic Portfolio
A Tale for the Rootless – Contemporary Performance Art Scent Designer for Lavanderia a Vapore – Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo
Choreographic project by Teresa Noronha Feio, winner of the τέχνη/téchne 2022 residency. I developed the olfactory design for this investigation into identity and colonial heritage, working in a team with composers, set designers and dramaturges to create a multisensory assemblage integrating scents, movement, music and history.

Work Methodology
Cultural and Artistic Research In-depth analysis of the artistic project, themes addressed and cultural context to identify narrative keys to translate into olfactory language.
Sensory Experience Design Development of olfactory architectures that support artistic narration, creating continuity between concept, performance/exhibition and audience engagement.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration Integration of olfactory work with complex artistic teams (choreographers, musicians, set designers, curators) to create coherent and immersive experiences.
Technical Implementation Management of technical aspects of olfactory diffusion and distribution in exhibition and performance spaces.
Areas of Specialization
- Performance Art & Contemporary Theater
- Art Exhibitions and Installations
- Institutional Cultural Projects
- Sensory Marketing for Artistic Events
- Olfactory Storytelling for Cultural Heritage
Olfactory design for art requires a deep understanding of both formulation techniques and contemporary artistic language. My interdisciplinary training allows me to translate complex curatorial visions into sensory experiences that amplify the emotional impact and memorability of works.
For artistic collaborations and cultural projects, my approach always integrates in-depth research, artistic sensitivity and technical excellence in formulation.
