This is the same olfactory sphere, retuned for slowness. Every scent here sustains — a long granular tone that breathes rather than strikes, built to sit close to the ear the way a whisper does. The colors are saturated and immediate, the same vivid register as ChromaSonic, because scent deserves to bloom as brightly as light does.
Why long tones. A struck note announces itself and ends. A sustained, granular, slowly-filtered tone invites the nervous system to lean in rather than react. This is the same quality that makes a whispered voice or a slow page-turn land differently than a clap. Stillness in a sound creates room for sensation.
Hover and wait. Each scent takes roughly two seconds to fully bloom — color first, then the tone gathers underneath it, then a slow filter sweep opens the top end. Staying on one scent rewards you more than moving quickly between them.
Structured like a tongue. The sphere isn't randomly arranged. Hue maps to longitude — citrus sits opposite musk, the way sour and bitter occupy distinct zones of the tongue. Weight maps to latitude: light, airy notes like sea air and lemon cluster near one pole; heavy, resinous ones like patchouli and oud sink toward the other. It's the same logic as the taste map — geography standing in for character.
Hold to sustain locks a scent's tone indefinitely, for as long as you want to sit inside one color and one resonance.
