An authored experiential framework exploring Cyprus as one of the ancient origins of scent — where perfume emerged as ritual, care, and cultural language.

Scent becomes the point of departure for reading the island differently: through landscape and climate, through ancestral aromatic practices, and through gestures carried across generations.

Rather than unfolding as a series of isolated visits, the journey follows a structured narrative arc moving between land, craft, and memory. From ancient uses of smoke, resins, and infused plants to contemporary practices carried by living hands, scent becomes a thread connecting past and present.

Conceived as an authored and modular framework, Cyprus — The Origins of Scent can adapt across formats and contexts while preserving its narrative integrity. The framework offers potential as a distinctive cultural positioning layer for Cyprus — developed selectively and in structured collaboration with aligned partners.

This theme marks the first chapter of the
