A scent that shaped Irish memory.
For generations, the rich, earthy aroma of burning peat has defined life in Ireland. More than just a scent, it’s the embodiment of home, warmth, and connection—a sensory thread woven through Irish identity.
But that scent is vanishing.
As Ireland transitions away from peat burning to protect its landscapes and climate, something deeply intimate is being lost—not just fuel, but a part of cultural memory.
What happens when a national aroma fades from the air?On Earth Day, April 22, 2025, we invite you to the world premiere of Ireland and Its Olfactory Heritage, a powerful new documentary that explores the past, present, and future of Ireland’s natural scents.
From the smoke of turf to the wild fragrance of gorse, heather, and bog myrtle, this is a story of identity, memory, and the enduring bond between people and place.
