Scent – the invisible aura that can blow us away

the gentle touch that moves us

The Adventure of Scent

Scent and emotion are intricately linked. This is why particular scents linger in our memories and form associations even after many years have passed.

Scent perception

Emotion & experience

One waft of scent molecules and – just like that – we’re transported into another world. We recall a particular experience, think of a special person or feel the fresh morning dew on the luscious meadow at sunrise that we remember from our last holiday up in the mountains.

Emotional communication

Scents are emotional and intense. Living beings have been relying on their sense of smell for survival since time immemorial. Scents alert us to danger, but they also connect us to beauty and our past experiences. The finely tuned interplay between scent and other sensory stimuli can intensify these associations even further.

The effect

The combination of scent with other sensory stimuli is fascinating. Our perception and interpretation are shaped in part by our individual personalities. And this uniqueness can never quite be captured in words, meaning it will always be special and individual.

The magic of scents

Tiny molecules enrich our lives in one literally intangible way – they remain invisible and intense. Smell is part of nature’s tool kit, and it is enhanced by the human creative spirit.
