What smells in here? We have asked ourselves this question, for better and for worse, hundreds of times. Because some aromas, even the apparently pleasant ones, can spoil the party in a second if they appear where they are not expected -it is well known the recommendation not to use perfume if you don’t want to spoil a meal. The smell of a space where we are going to have a good time is important but, fortunately or unfortunately, almost everything smells, and bars and restaurants are no exception: working with organic materials and, in many cases, heat, both are continuous generators of odors that must be dealt with in one way or another. Because although the smell of fried food emanating from a house may bring a smile to our faces as we walk down the street on a spring day, no one likes it when hot oil vapours escape from a restaurant kitchen, whose molecules float in the air in the form of tiny droplets, and get inside our noses, distorting the wine we have chosen with enthusiasm or, directly, annoying us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independent perfumer and astrobiologist Marina Barcenilla is clear: “There is no one right scent for restaurant dining rooms. Much of what helps us enjoy and savor food is its aroma. If we force a different aroma, it could interfere with the taste of the food and spoil the dining experience. It is also important to remember that smells are a subjective experience, and not all smells are liked or elicit the same reaction in different people. If any aroma is used, it should be specific to enhance or complement the flavor of the dish being served.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
