Scent Incognita
Take a Whiff! Capture the Scent of Nature 🌿👃✨
Plants don’t just communicate through their appearance – they also have their own unique scent! Some smell intensely of honey or citrus, while others surprise us with spicy or even unexpected aromas. But what does a flower really smell like? Does its scent change depending on location, time of day, or weather?
With our new scent feature, you can document exactly that – and actively contribute to creating a unique fragrance database!
Why participate?
🌱 Support science – Your entry helps build a unique scent archive of the plant world. Scientists can use this data to study how location, climate, seasons, and scent variations are connected.
👃 Discover new perspectives – Many plants have fascinating fragrance notes that often go unnoticed. By consciously observing and describing them, you sharpen your senses and experience nature in a completely new way.
🌍 Uncover patterns – Each plant smells different, and it’s not just about the species. Surroundings, temperature, time of day, and season all play a role. With enough contributions, we can map out where and when certain scent patterns appear and how they change over time.
How it works:
📸 Identify a plant using the app
👃 Smell it and describe its fragrance – is it sweet, spicy, fruity, or earthy?
🌟 Share your perception with us and help explore the fascinating world of plant scents!
Your descriptions become part of a large community database. Together, we can create a more complete picture of the world of plant fragrances. So: Take a deep breath, sharpen your senses, and let’s go! 👃🌿✨
