Turku Archipelago seeks professional nose for tourism role

Visit Turku Archipelago, a regional marketing organization in Finland, is seeking a “professional nose” to help promote the Turku Archipelago as the world’s best-smelling travel destination. The position, described as a “Nose Job,” is a formal, fixed-term employment rather than a contest.

The selected individual will travel through the islands for five to seven days, likely during May or June 2027. The primary task is to experience, document, and describe the region's various scents—ranging from sea air and pine forests to sauna steam and freshly baked bread—to create engaging content for social media.

Candidates do not need professional perfume training but must be at least 18 years old, comfortable appearing on camera, and possess their own photo or video equipment for content production. The role offers a gross salary of 2,000 euros plus holiday pay, with all travel and accommodation expenses covered by the organization.
