  Scentsory Design by Dr Jenny Tillotson
  
  The Smart Second Skin dress allows the wearer to enter a sixth dimension by creating a rainbow symphony of aromas. This makes us more aware of our own smell sensory universe, which has the capacity to expand our sensory repertoire towards the sixth sense. The wearer could deliver a spray of magic wellness molecules to create their own personal 'smell bubble'.
  
  We are entering a new age of perfumery. The sense of smell is our most ancient and primitive sense. Recent scientific research is showing that our sense of smell is much more important in our emotional lives than we had previously known.
  
  We start our lives by smell-bonding with our mothers and we continue by forming romantic attachments with partners whose body aroma re-echoes this early, primal, olfactory experience. Aromas can also affect our moods and feelings.
  
  This research project is a new development taking inspiration from biology and the delicate delivery system of animals and insects. It conjures up multi-sensorial clothing based around the sense of smell. The approach to fashion design introduces the living garment as a SMART SECOND SKIN.
  
  Clothing (and jewelry) become almost living as if copying the human skin, our senses and circulation system. A micro pump is integrated within the design which represents the 'heart', micro tubes represent the 'veins and arteries' and various biosensors mimic the senses to create a new interactive fabric communication system in clothing.
  
  Fragrances are actively 'pulsed' electronically through a micro cabling system in the fabric web. The dress has its own nervous system, which allows the wearer to control the emotional wellbeing of the garments. It reacts on body functions of the wearer and is an extension of the human body. The fabric emits a selection of scents to create novel olfactory experiences as part of the sensory appeal and will eventually replace the traditional perfume bottle (no need to carry a bottle when you clothes contain it all).
