Ce mémoire étudie le patrimoine olfactif au Sénégal à travers les savoir-faire des Laobés et les usages sociaux de l’encens. Il met en lumière les techniques traditionnelles de fabrication de l’encens ainsi que son rôle dans la vie quotidienne, les pratiques rituelles et les représentations culturelles. À partir d’une approche anthropologique et patrimoniale, cette recherche montre comment ces savoir-faire et ces pratiques participent à la transmission d’un patrimoine culturel immatériel. Elle s’interroge également sur les enjeux de leur préservation et de leur valorisation dans un contexte de mondialisation.
