WHO IS?
Over the last 30 years Tracy Pepe has been developing her superpower– the connection between mental health and our sense of smell. As a perfumer, specializing with essential oils and aromatic chemicals, her career has defined her as a “pioneer”, curating various scent solutions to rethink practical synaesthesia in architecture and interior design.
Her recently published book WHY the NOSE? outlines the research and connections on how scent can impact mental health.
Tracy’s book is an extension of her TED TALK: HOW the NOSE KNOWS? , however expanding on the current research and collations to smell learning and exiting new series of seminars, "what if?"
"I believe a single whiff can change everything"
