Cecilia Bembibre is on a mission to save a part of our heritage that is often forgotten, or not thought of – the smell of things. 

That delicious smell of an old book through to the scene of a person, a building or even a town – she’s intent on finding culturally significant smells, and capturing them. 

She’s doing a PhD project at the University College London Institute for Sustainable Heritage on identifying and documentation of heritage smells.
