Smelly Projects was founded by olfactory artist Michelle von Mandel and is a vehicle for exploring and documenting memories and places using scent, image, sound, and texture.

Our belief is that through arousal of multiple senses, the experience of burning your candle will be more fully enriched. 
 
So, we use photos on our labels, instead of words, to stimulate a visual-olfactive experience and have created playlists intended for listening while your candle is burning in order to awaken an audio-olfactive relationship. 
 

Inspiration for the name 'Smelly Projects'​ was drawn from Michelle's research on the language (and lack thereof) of smell. 

Reclaiming the word 'Smelly'​ is a somewhat rebellious act that attempts to push the meaning beyond the default negative connotations to something more positive and celebrated.
