The Science Behind Scent Marketing

The Science Behind Scent Marketing

One of the many reasons why scent can create such meaningful and long-lasting impressions is because it surpasses the part of the brain that processes logic and reasoning. Our initial reaction to scent is always visceral so when smelling a scent, information about that scent is immediately sent to the area of our brain that assigns importance.

Science has shown that within a year human can remember a scent with 65% accuracy, compared to a visual recall of 50% after 3 months. Scent can easily take you back to a sweet childhood memory or remind you of your favorite person. Imagine what scent could do for your brand.
