The Twilight Room was an immersive experience room designed to explore the rich transition from day to night as a quiet retreat space for attendees of PSU’s Elevating Impact summit. Conferences are often large and loud, and this space provided a moment of restoration, transporting attendees to a liminal space where boundaries between time and place felt blurred.

ABOUT THE ELEVATING IMPACT SUMMIT
Organized by Portland State University, the Elevating Impact Summit brings together changemakers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to explore innovations in social impact. Held in Portland's historic Armory building, the summit featured art installations like interactive projection mapping and immersive environments, providing a creative and thought-provoking backdrop for discussions on social innovation. The summit's emphasis on creativity and collaboration made it the perfect setting for an experience like the Twilight Room.
THE “VESPERTINE” composition
The Twilight Room captured the essence of tropical twilight through a multi-sensory experience. The fragrance was designed to evoke the edge effect of twilight and the unique richness of this temporal transition in nature. In addition to a custom fragrance, the room was filled with live plants, increased humidity, and recordings of ambient tropical sounds, creating a lush, restorative environment.
Composition: The perfume's fragrance evokes tropical dusk, featuring notes of white flowers, wet dirt, tropical foliage, and humidity.
Delivery: The scent was diffused gently throughout the room, integrating seamlessly with the artificially humid environment to enhance the feeling of immersion.
Attendees described the space as transformative, a lush, multisensory retreat that stood out amidst the summit's intensity. The Twilight Room highlighted the potential of scent to create meaningful, restorative experiences.
