capes our conscious control, yet many situations are shaped
and affectively charged by odours in unexpectedly strong and
far-reaching ways. They are capable of conveying a range of
moods, yet have no spatial or architectural character; the spa-
tiality of odour rests on bodily processes, in particular in con-
nection with respiration. In both interior and exterior spaces,
for example in gardens, a pleasant, fresh or attractive aroma
can convey the impression (i.e. when inhaling deeply through
the nose) that we are taking in the space together with the air
volume. We experience a sense of breadth, and have the im-
pression of expanding into the space. Conversely, an unpleas-
ant or dusty odour makes inhalation difficult, generating feel-
ings of oppressiveness. Unlike the other senses, our sense of
smell does not facilitate the identification of individual forms;
odours appear in an immaterial fashion between objects. They
hover in the air, are imperceptible at a distance; they spread
themselves out, but have no boundaries or directionality.Narrowness
