The Trained Nose

Catalogue

Smells like this.

Tap what you want to smell. AKIN places what you describe and finds the real bottles nearest to it.

Or read it the other way round — the catalogue lists what exists; the map shows how it all sits together.

The notes

The common materials are below. Typing reaches every note the catalogue knows.

A material marked seldom recorded is still offered. Too few bottles carry it for it to change where a description lands, and saying so is cheaper than pretending otherwise.

Tea ×
Heart
Base

Tea can be moved. A mark in pieces means the catalogue does not agree about where that material belongs; one long block means it does, and those carry no control.

Tea is recorded in more than one tier, with no majority worth the name. Put it where you want it.

One noteA wide question. Tea alone is in a great many bottles, so these are simply ones it leads — there is no nearest yet.

Where this sits

What you described sits at the filled mark, ringed by the bottles below. Where the ground is empty, nothing exists — that is the whole of what a distance on this page means.

AKIN the nearest real bottles

Nothing in the catalogue is exactly what you described, so these are the closest that exist. At one material they are all about equally close.

What you describedFurther

Why the marks overlap. One material places a description very roughly, and a great many bottles fall inside the same roughness. The order you are reading is not a real order yet.
