    What a fun video, thank you!
    Associating odor with music and color is a fascinating exercise, if perfumery is your hobby. Some people do this naturally, but if you don’t, you can try it as a deliberate exercise. A friend and I tried this with “blue”. I chose electric blue, he chose cadet blue. We had great fun choosing notes we’d use in our blue ‘fumes, and found we had very different ideas of what notes were “blue” at all, versus green or purple or what not. It was a fun afternoon!

      We have done a few color-based community projects — it’s clear some people like to think about fragrance that way and some people don’t 🙂
