As reported by Telegraph.co.uk, scent professionals of many stripes were tapped for the "extinct and impossible" smells exhibition at the Reg Vardy Gallery, University of Sunderland in the northeast of England. They've created a series of unique historical odors that would likely not exist naturally today. Scents include odors found a medieval plague doctor's first aid kit, the smell of the fallout from an atomic bomb, the sweaty stink of a space station, the bouquet of extinct flowers and more. I wish the exhibition was showing here in the northeast of the US as well. Update: Here's more from 24 Hour Museum.

(And from 24 hour museum : Jesse Tafero was not exonerated. His guilt is still in doubt though.)
That flower pic is just TOO beautiful
Will just have to use it as an avatar
Where on Earth did you find that gem
And the quality is so high
Here is one of her flower photo sets on Flickr:
