Scent Dialekt
by Scent Dialekt
Enigma. Aromas. Cinema. Synthetic Intellect. A journal of emptiness. Scent Dialekt pairs original fragrances with film criticism. One movie, one perfume, per episode. Both disappear the moment you experience them.

Marietta
Director: David Lynch. The first time I saw Wild at Heart I was still trying to figure out if it was Wizard of Oz, and it is. Marietta is the witch. This scene of Diane Ladd in the bathroom is so uncanny, the way she covers her whole face in lipstick. I can smell the violent undertone of it, old...

Through The Wall. Mulholland Drive (2001)
Director: David Lynch. Unfortunately I never got to see this in the theater, but when I watched it on VHS, I really feel David Lynch kept the sound low on purpose, so you crank it all the way up, and that is when the next-level sound design hits you right in the face. This scene in particular…

Call Me. Lost Highway (1997)
Director: David Lynch. This scene scared the shit out of me. Where are Robert Blake's eyebrows? It's so eerie and uncanny that I still think about it from time to time. I can smell the white foundation on his face, I can smell the hair gel, and he never blinks once during the entire monologue…

Patent Leather Tap Shoes Phobia Realness . The Bad Seed (1985)
Director Paul Wendkos. Another made-for-TV movie from that summer with my grandma in Kansas, this one an ABC Movie of the Week. No specimen was produced for this film. It did not feel right to me. I ended up developing a phobia of patent leather tap shoes for several years after watching the...

Cookies. Flowers In The Attic (1987)
Director: Jeffrey Bloom. Another movie from that summer of horror with my grandma, watched on TV on some channel like TBS. Later in junior high I read the V.C. Andrews book, which was darker and so sad. I love Louise Fletcher as an actress, but I developed a real fright around her character…

Powdered. Bad Ronald (1974)
Director: Buzz Kulik. This is from a summer I spent with my grandmother in Kansas, where we watched a bunch of horror movies, and this one was next level to see at such a young age. Knowing a teenager could be capable of these acts, of having that tendency in him, really freaked me out. When...

The Watcher . Suspiria (1977)
Director: Dario Argento. This is the scene that started Scent Dialekt. Suzy and Sara swimming in the pool and you are seeing it from the POV of one of the witches, watching from above. I could smell all of it. The pool stone, the pool water, the shampoo in their hair. I thought one day I have to...
-
Georgetown . The Exorcist III (1990)
Director: William Peter Blatty. This opening has had a chokehold on me for the longest time. People view Blatty's Exorcist III as half horror, half slapstick but this opening is something else. That church scene has this THX sound design and when the damn doors fly open it is so loud. I saw this...
-
Voodoo Snooping . Angel Heart (1987)
Director: Alan Parker. First movie in the series and one I watched alone too young. This is where the synesthesia started. That armoire opens inside the Kingdom Mission and I could smell it. The glass eyeball. The taxidermied animal. The candle wax. The fear. Scent Dialekt is an independent art…
