Smell amplifies taste

Stimulating the sense of smell to buy products is not a new concept for those in the food industry. Bakers and Patisseries have been using these techniques for many years. They understand that smell amplifies taste and the use of these smells can attract an otherwise reluctant customer. Studies show the sense of smell is the most powerful stimulus known and often provoke a strong emotional response meaning customers are more likely spend on impulse.

Scenting solutions for food and beverages

Food aroma’s to entice customers is not always possible. Packaged, canned or refrigerated food cannot be smelled so scenting can be introduced which resembles the food to complete the experience. Grocery stores are also applying these techniques as modern refrigeration has eliminated the aromas that in the past let customers know that their produce was ripe and bread was fresh. While these advances helped greatly in promoting health and reducing spoilage, they also eliminated the wonderful smells that tantalized shoppers’ palates and assured them of good quality.
