That's right -- smells, "good" smells. There is a market for them, and I understand why. I have anly to imagine the sweet smell of pine in the hot suni, and I can feel the heat of summer. The American Museum of Natural History, in New York, is using bottled smells, dispensed by rotating aerosol devices, to make its exhibits of flora and fauna seem more real. The museum says that appropriate smells vital ly enhanoe the visitor's visual experience, evoking an extremely subtie impression of another timfe or place. And sa, when the museumn opened its new hall of the South Pacific visitors will get a whiff of what smells like real Tahitian breeze and surf. The firm which developeci the fragrances for the Natural History museumr admits ta being at work on other s-mls for other institutions. They've already re-created the animaIs and woods aroma of a lSth century Swedish barnyard for an exhibit in Stockholm, and they have even reproduced the odors of a slum for the Smithsonian Institute. But if smells cani be helpful ta recre ate reality, they can also be used ta caver it up. New car smells in a used car lot for example. The smell af the seashare at polluted water.fronts. The trick Aill be getting the right smells in the right places. For example, 1 used ta like the seel smnell of> chewÎing gum, until 1 began jogging dawnwvind of a chewing gum factary. Encountered on a wooded trail, with the jogger's lungs working-deeply, the smrell of chewing gum is dawn- right sickening. And as the makers of perfume have dis- covered, good smrells are expensive. 1 remember, dimly, an experiment wtith movies and the- olfactory senses, years ago in New York. It was called smellovisian. It failed, 1 suspect, because in the smrell-o-vision- version, a rose garden reminded one af a lady af the night wha'd splashed herself with chea*p perfurne. That's nat newsf, but that too is real ity.,. Hwy. 40
