This project thesis constitutes an investigation that attempts to synthesize an olfactory landscape and the relationship of the human factor with it. It is the idea of a community that encompasses the concepts of coexistence, nature, evolution and creation. Man's relationship with space and reason becomes evident through architectural elements, as well as the history of the place. Focusing on the island of Samothraki, the process of distilling essential oils from plants that thrive on the island is explored. This project attempts to be an interpretation of a route and the way it is related to the Kaverian Mysteries, which were celebrated/held on the island, creating an experience open to the public, with coexistence and sensation as the main axes. Prompted by the sensory experiences that come through these specific Mysteries, an attempt is made to translate this quality into today’s context. Focusing on tracing the space, and how it becomes the canvas for the collaboration of the "new" mysteries. Formulating a landscape where a distillery is located, acting as an alternative form of agritourism, with spaces that frame the distillation process and, at the same time, bring people together but, also, familiarizing one with their own self.

Key words/concepts: Samothrace, essential oils, Kaverian mysteries, smell, distillery
