Zine 11: Scent

What’s that smell? It’s Soupbone Olfactory Studios presenting its sssssecond ssssensory zine!!! (Real ones will remember the Sound issue, compiled just as the pandemic’s tentacular grip was beginning to loosen.) Join us for an exploration of that most primal of sensory faculties: able to wrest a long-forgotten memory out of the depths of your hippocampus, induce you to look at that woman passing you in the grocery store with wonder and longing, or, y’know, feel an impending sense of doom every time you enter a nail salon. Here for your olfactory pleasure are an ode to HeyTea, a snout-forward day in the life of the world’s most perfect dog, an investigation of “old book smell,” and much, much more. Thanks for sniffing with us, Soupfriends.
