In Sensorium: Notes for My People by Tanaïs is deeply connected to the philosophical ideas of scent, love, and memory, particularly through a feminist, decolonial, and sensory lens. The book is a blend of memoir, history, and olfactory storytelling, using scent as a medium to explore identity, ancestral memory, and personal and collective histories of trauma, love, and belonging. It is, in her own words, a call for liberation.
