Welcome to the Smell and Taste Wall

Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, better known as L. Ron Hubbard or LRH, was an American pulp fiction author and the founder of the Church of Scientology. 

Today, The Church of Scientology has unveiled its new 'super power building' featuring a wall where parishioners will come to improve their "perceptics" – Hubbard's word for the senses, of which there are 57, not just 5. According to LRH, they "include an ability to sense blood circulation, balance, compass direction, temperature, gravity as well as an 'awareness of importance, unimportance.'" The Super Power course, developed by L. Ron Hubbard, supposedly "boosts" these perceptics "through a series of mental and physical tasks." The smells - listed in the drawing of the wall as "Magnolia", "Orange blossom", "Lily of the Valley" and "Fig" - are clearly tributes to Jo Malone and other expensive candle shops. But the tastes are from a greasy spoon: "cheddar cheese", "spaghetti bolognese", "sauerkraut and sausage".
