A mysterious journey of colors and scents!

A mysterious journey of colors and scents!

Sometimes a color can take us back to our childhood. Especially if we smell a scent we have smelled before, we travel back in time. No matter how distant the memories are, colors and smells help us to revive them. Even if years pass, they remind us of the first time they were seen or heard. At the heart of
this mysterious journey that takes us back to the present is our senses and the traces they leave on us.

The nose is perhaps the most interesting of our five senses. There is a strong connection between smell and memory. A smell of perfume while walking down the street can trap us in memories and revive an event we have experienced before. The indescribable smell of old places can remind us of an event we thought we had forgotten. The revival of so many memories with a scent is closely related to the fact that the sense of smell is the oldest known sense. Before sight, hearing and even touch, smelling is one of the most primitive senses that evolved for single-celled organisms to react to chemicals in their environment. It also has the longest evolutionary history and corresponds to one of the oldest regions in our brain. Therefore, it would not be wrong to say that the strongest memory is the memory of smell.

What Colors Leave in Our Memory

Around us, where we live or in a place we visit, we can recognize smells that we have never smelled before. The difficult part is to name them. We can never fully describe a smell. We usually try to express smells with the object that creates that smell. We make sentences like “the smell of roses, the smell of coffee, the smell of freshly watered grass”. At this point, colors and smell are intertwined. When we smell coffee, we think of the color brown. The color brown represents solidity and trust. Perhaps this is why coffee conversations are so deep.

When we look at what other colors leave in our memory, we see the strong combination of smell and color. The smell of roses and carnations reminds us of red. The color red is associated with passion, self-confidence, energy and memory. The scent of tangerine and grapefruit evokes orange. It means change, life energy, sociability. The smell of lemon, pineapple, banana evokes yellow. It means happiness, friendship, positive energy, inspiration. Maybe that's why when we see a yellow house we think of happy moments in our childhood and a red flower brings to mind our first love. Without a doubt, colors and scents take us on a mysterious journey through time.

The most distinctive features of Casi Paped's colorful designs are undoubtedly the unique stories of colors. Our yellow Josephine Turkish Coffee Cups, Filter Coffee Cups or Lotte Cappuccino Cups reinterpret the past with the mystical scent of coffee. Who knows which memories this color, which illuminates life with the energy of the sun for us, becomes the key to for you?
