Immersive Scenting: A Conversation with Scent Consultant Liam R. Findlay

In a recent episode of the Internet of Senses Institute Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Liam R. Findlay—a themed attraction and historical scenting consultant whose work at AromaPrime is transforming how we think about immersive environments. From theme parks and museums to historical sites and cultural experiences, Liam’s expertise reveals the profound role scent plays in shaping how we feel, behave, and connect with the world around us.

Speaking with Liam offered a fascinating look into a field that’s often overlooked, yet increasingly essential to immersive design. His insights underscore why scent deserves a central place in conversations about engagement, interpretation, and sensory inclusion.
