For this project, artist Sissel Tolaas firstly acknowledged the inherent human instinct to, unwittingly, produce a particular smell when in a state of fear.

Turning this notion upon its head, however, she resolved to produce a series of fifteen fragrance which collectively suggested an aroma of fearlessness, thereby emboldening those using them.

So, to be faced with one, two, or three… right up to fifteen people, would, in this instance, produce no feeling of fear.
