What does Debussy smell like? It might not be something you've had cause to wonder, but it was the burning question when I took my seat to hear the composer's String Quartet in G minor on Saturday. On my seat was a small black box that said "Open Me", and inside the lid another message: "Smell Me". Just sitting and listening to music is so 2013. This was to be a completely multi-sensory experience.

Come ONNN. Debussy smells like Apres l’Ondee, obviously.
🙂
Close enough…apparently at this concert, Debussy smelled like Parma violets.
YES!
Terre d’Hermes! Especially his Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun 🙂
That’s an interesting idea, too!
Engulfed Cathedrals would have to be an as yet unmade Comme de Garcons:)
I enjoyed the comments on that article even more than the article itself!
Agree on both counts!
Thank you all for talking among yourselves, I do not listen to classical music & so no ideas on this subject!
