This article discusses the alluring topic of olfactory learning, which is often touched on in the literature but is rarely employed. I argue that olfactory learning, at its best, is achieved in contact with living nature, as in the plethora of scents that can be encountered and discussed in ecological context in a forest. An expected outcome is enhanced sensory awareness of the living environment.

Keywords:
Multisensory learning, olfaction, plant scents, biosphere, learning atmospheres, walk-and-talk, natural scentscapes
