Episode Overview:
Today we're talking about aroma kits—what they are, how they work, and whether you need one if you're studying for your WSET exams or simply trying to get better at smelling wine.

A listener question from Christine in Bergen, Norway inspired this week's episode (thank you, Christine!). We'll explore popular aroma kits like Le Nez du Vin, look at their pros and cons, and I'll share my honest thoughts after revisiting both a brand-new kit and one that's over a decade old.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The difference between wine tasting kits and aroma kits

  • How long aroma kits last—and what happens over time

  • Why the Le Nez du Vin kit is so popular with students and educators

  • What to consider before investing (spoiler: they're pricey!)

  • How to train your nose using everyday items around the house

Plus, I'll give you some practical ideas for building your own "aroma memory bank" using spices, fruit, flowers, and more. Spoiler: your spice drawer might be more powerful than you think.

Key Takeaway:
These kits are beautiful and helpful—but not essential. You already have a powerful tool: your own sense of smell. Training it just takes intention and practice.
