Un líquido inodoro – Sala del Agua

ENGLISH:

Approach your nose to the odour emitters and try to guess the type of water. If you  hit pushing the button, a green light will shine, otherwise a red light will appear.

Water, when is pure, is colourless, at least in small quantities, odourless and tasteless. But liquid natural water is never found on its pure state; it always has suspended matter and a diversity of dissolved substances, with a range of concentrations according to its origin. The more common are air gases, but also contains organic compounds, coming from biological residues, their decomposition products or even some micro-organisms. Dissolved substances are responsible for water’s odour and taste. This is the basic principle for the preparation of any eau de cologne : dissolve alcohol and aroma essences in pure water. Possible combinations are endless but almost all of them use bergamot and citron, accompanied by rosemary, thyme, lavender and other aromatic plants.
