    This paper examines heritage, and particularly intangible heritage, by concentrating on the experience of smell to explore a heritage site in Istanbul, Turkey: the Spice Market. Due to a restoration project, the site became the focus of the 2012 international workshop Urban Cultural Heritage and Creative Practice,' which aimed at documenting the existing and threatened scents of the marketplace. in 2016 a gallery exhibition, Scent and the City,' was created as part of an effort to raise awareness about how scent constitutes an important component of the heritage of place. after providing a brief overview of the marketplace's transformations since its construction in the seventeenthcentury, this paper covers various methods of scent research, including scent walks, mapping, oral history interviews, and artistic performances, and illustrates how the smellscapes of this historic, and now touristic, quarter of Istanbul are changing. By bringing a sensory approach to this important heritage site in Istanbul we demonstrate how an embodied approach, which forefronts scent as intangible heritage and a primary modality, can serve as a catalyst for individuals and communities to access their memories, emotions, and values and increase awareness of the role scent plays in defining locality.
