Perfume
Stories

Perfume Stories are a series
of sensory and storytelling workshops based around olfaction and perfume. The workshop was piloted for 4 years across a number of Prisons in the North West /UK and is now adopted by 5 HMPs in the North East / UK.

This is the first project
that combines visual arts, storytelling and olfaction as
a methodology at HMP’s in
the UK.

This research programme has been run in collaboration with Novus.ac.uk, one of the biggest providers of education and rehabilitation in the Prison System.

Perfume Stories was short listed in The North-East Prison Awards 2024

Also featured in The Guardian 20.04.25

and Positive News Magazine Issue 122 July – Sept 2025

This workshop is now available for private and
corporate events
