I Document The Scents Of Sardinia To Remember The Smells Of My Land

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Michela and I’m an Italian copywriter from Bologna. “Scents of Sardinia” is the name of my experiment of “olfactory tourism” on Instagram, a virtual travel between natural scents and amazing landscapes.

I started to take these pictures 4 years ago because I was feeling homesick from my island, Sardinia. I’ve always been very sensible to scents and remembering the smells of my land make me feel closer to home and reconnect with my inner self and memories.

In the last years, I’ve taken many pictures of breathtaking panorama of my land, trying to gather and evoke every little nuance of the world and atmosphere that surrounded me: not only smells, but also humidity and temperature, human or animal presence, sensations and emotions of every place and moment.

To complete the description of the environment and atmosphere, I add three more relevant scents in the caption of each photo. Every pic has a geotag which immediately shows the exact location where it was taken. Open your eyes and smell the essence of my land!
