1. Methods: How to use your nose to discover a city
• Mental smell maps: The subjects are asked to draw a map of the city and to locate on it smells which occur to them spontaneously, using symbols or colours to be explained in a legend. Further parameters (how to draw the map, which symbols to use and how to describe odours) are deliberately left open.
• Monitoring smell maps: The subjects select an area to be
explored at least once a month. They download its map from the website of the municipality and record on it whatever odours they encounter during their walks, using freely chosen symbols and explaining them in a legend. It is important to note the date and the weather conditions. Alternative: keep a diary of the smells for a particular area.

Spatial categories in visualising smellscapes
• Paths/tracks: channels along which odours circulate (e.g. water course, streets)
• Point-like sources of discrete smells (e.g. pedestrians)• Focuses: strategic points of a city (e.g. the railway
station)• Emblems: specific monuments (St. Stephen Cathedral)• Areas.

“The odours of fast-foods in the corridor can be savoured intensively only after entering the shop [...]. For the rest, with the exception of the florist’s and the newspaper kiosks, the shops’ characters cannot be perceived from outside, there are always strong ‘odour thresholds’.” (K.S.)

Stephansplatz
“The smell of the inner city is a mixture mainly of horse urine, exhaust fumes, sweet smells and the odours of old walls and food.” (I.G.)

3. Bucharest, a fabric of aromas
„Let’s view, no, let’s sniff Bucharest. [...]
Were it a broth, it would be, say, a stew, a well blended mixture of cheap cologne and a handful of freshly spaded soil, a pinch of incense and copious litres of kerosene, gasoline and diesel oil, dry dung, thirsty sand and lime, hot exhaust fumes.”
(Magda Cârneci)
