Introducing the Anemoia Device, a scent-memory machine that uses generative AI to distill photographs into bespoke fragrances.
✺ Register your interest: https://cyrus.website/anemoia-
Guided by language models, a dial-based interface, and a custom olfactory formulation system, each image becomes a singular scent composition — a multisensory memory that evokes anemoia: nostalgia for a moment you never lived.
