Ernesto Neto's use of fragrant herbs in his gigantic nylon playground is inspiring to all artists working in scent.

I walked for several minutes before identifying the fragrance coming from the diaphanous walls as 'chammomile'. Further down the labarinthine passage, tiny lavender buds formed an assymetrical line, sewn into a wall of yellow nylon.

Most pungent were the flavours of chili which were suspended in a tent-like structure. I took of my shoes to enter. I felt the spongy nylon cushion under my toes and smelled the intoxicating smell of chili powder, which percolated from a sack suspended from the ceiling. A couple of adult visitors were already lying inside. This was a realm which inspired childlike behavior. I stuck my arm into a soft nylon hole at a passerby on the others ide, visible through the translucent mesh, and they smiled.
