The Scent Table
Ready, set, smell!
Complex and rich, the sense of smell is like a muscle: it can be trained. So come challenge your nose with the “scent table”! An experience to try alone, as a pair, or with family at the Cité de l’Océan.

This unique experience invites you to guess 10 scents related to the ocean and marine life.
Instructions:

- Take your time to think and use the visual clue under the glass bell opposite you.
- For the more daring, cover the visual clue with your hand! You’ll see it might be harder to guess some scents…
- Once you have your answer in mind, tap the tablet on your right to discover the correct one!
