After selecting art forms/artworks (most likely paintings or songs) as inspiration for perfumes I will learn to make, I will conduct surveys with multiple people through social media & connections, learning about the connection between colors/notes, feelings, and smell. This will help me interpret the art into fragrance in a more unbiased way. Subsequently, after getting a general sense of the vibe/scents I want to create, I will learn from my mentors and tinker with making different fragrances.

The perfumes will then be used in studies where the participants who are surveyed beforehand on their feelings on the specific artwork smell/wear the related perfume while looking at the artwork again. They are then surveyed a second time on their feelings evoked by the artwork. Additionally, participants in a different study will smell the scent (on others perhaps) and talk for a bit to a stranger, preferably. Before smelling this scent and after this, different self-reported survey ideas like SAM (valence, arousal, dominance) will be used to measure any differences in the participants. In the end, I expect to create 1-3 perfumes but it really depends on how long it takes me. Lastly, I will analyze my results from the studies and present them as well.
