In reading through ubi's recent thread about the 2010 Boston Basenotes Meeting:
http://www.basenotes.net/threads/256...d-Wide-Meet-Up

I thought it might be appropriate and fun to have a specific descriptive of such gatherings,
http://www.rinkworks.com/words/collective.shtml.

one reminescent of other descriptives of animal meet-ups and gatherings but one unique to Fragrance Lovers.

Consider: A murder of crows; an ambush of tigers; a murmuration of starlings; an ostentation of peacocks etc.

Perhaps we could collect the most popular attempts and decide in a future poll as to which would best describe in such manor a gathering of scent lovers?

I will kick it off with two to start:

A jostling of noses

A breath of sniffers

Any others? Hmmmm..?

Hi there,

Got two suggestions, one positive and one negative,

Positive being An "Olfactive", negative being a "migraine".

Think of all those competing scents in a confined space, people may start to hallucinate!

Ho-hum
