About the work

A closer look.

Something in your home or work smells wrong and you cannot name it. Tell me the thing and what the smell is like - sour, dusty, sweet, chemical, wet, faded. I tell you which molecule is behind it, its family, and what made it: air taking something apart, a living thing like a fungus or microbe, or a material ageing. Every name comes with a source; anything I cannot support I mark as a hunch and say so. You get a short written diagnosis in plain language, ready to act on. Sample: a lemon that smells faintly of mint is not off, it is old - its limonene has drifted to carvone.
