HOW THIS WORKS

Entries are listed by how many of your chosen qualities they share, most first; entries that share the same number keep their Atlas order. An entry has a quality when the word is in its description or the entry is listed under the SmellBook word of that name. Only entries sharing at least one quality are shown. There is no hidden scoring, ranking weight or personal data.

The qualities are everyday smell words. Those with their own page explain what SmellBook means by them: warm, cool, dry, soft, sweet, creamy, fruity, tropical and more smell words.
