Prepare a certain number (for beginners 7, later always more—up to 15) of paper cones or dark little bottles (10 grams) and place in each one an item with a distinct scent, such as: a piece of onion, roasted coffee, rose petals, anise, orange peel, cloves, violet flowers, etc., or pour in different liquids like: kerosene, turpentine, ether, etc. Arrange these items in a single row, a few feet apart from one another, and instruct each participant to walk along the table, sniffing each tube (or vial) for 5 seconds. Then give each person one minute to write down from memory, in order, all the scents they encountered.
