This podcast about urban smellscapes was produced by Jo Barratt and first aired on Life in Scents.  It is part of our 'Feast for the Senses' series. Have you ever stepped off a plane and been aware of a different smell in the air - the smell of a country, a city, a terrain? This podcast is a fascinating exploration of our urban smellscapes.  We are all familiar with landscapes - 'smellscapes' are the smell equivalent. It is drawn from a lecture by Victoria Henshaw lecturer in Urban Design and Planning at University of Sheffield, whose specialism is smell.   The lecture took place after one of Victoria's 'Smell Walks', organised by Scratch and Sniff events and explores how we live and navigate using our noses, how cities can be mapped by aroma, and how architects and planners might use a consideration of this in their work. It starts by looking at how we adapt to different smells.  Usually we are smelling so many different things but we don't process them all consciously as it would be overwhelming to do so. Some smells are cultural, some smells we are more tolerant of at certain types of day(such as beer at night), some smells we experience differently depending on our genes (eg Androstenonethe the hormone in body odour - sometimes called the caveman odoour - which 60% of us can smell, but 40% cannot smell.  Of those who can smell it,  90% smell body odour, but 10% smell flowers!)  Have we 'sterilised' our environment, rid it of the smells? Victoria finishes with a bit of futurology, and she tells us to expect smells for our mobile phones - which will give us different smells for different callers! If you are interested in further exploration in the world of smell, the absolute go-to podcast platform is Life in Scents, which has lots of podcasts of interviews with people looking at their lives through smell.  Also take a look at Victoria Henshaw's great blog, Smells and the City, and Odette Toilette's olefactory adventure events.

In this special seasonal edition of Life in Scents Jo Barratt and Odette Toilette speak to Father Christmas. Known by several names around the world this legendary elusive figure is the man perhaps most associated with This time of year. We hear about the smells that have punctuated his life, from his childhood in central Asia to his current home in the north of Europe. It is a life drenched in the warming Christmas smells that we are all so familiar with. We also learn what an elf smells like, that time travel smells of coconut and the connection between Old Spice and the Northern Lights. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the third interview for Life in Scents, playwright and screenwriter Marcella Evaristi speaks to Jo Barratt and Odette Toilette about some of the smells that have punctuated her life. From fish suppers on wet winter evenings to the metaphysical joys of turpentine, her sensory experiences are divided between the 'electric greyness' of her home city Glasgow, to the vivifying scents of her ancestral Italy where choosing the perfect white peach marked a poignant ritual for father and daughter. We hear about being chased by Vicks VaporRub, the magic of sofrito, and why Marcella can't walk past an art shop without sticking her head in and having a good sniff.

In the first edition of Life in Scents, Jo Barratt and Odette Toilette speak to the writer Lavinia Greenlaw about the smells and scents that have been significant in her life. The poet recalls the comforting English smells of bonfire, rain and bread which evoke memories of her parents and children. She shares the experiences of growing up though the exaggerated synthetic smells of the 1970s disco scene, into the cigarettes and jumble sales of punk. We hear about dockside warehouses haunted by the smells of clove and cinnamon, and of the scents that as a writer, Lavinia has now lost as digital replaces the analogue.
