SCENTsational FUN FACTS! - Melissa Allen Mood Essentials

To honour International Fragrance and International Happiness Day this month…we thought we’d share some SCENTsational Fun Facts!

  • We are 100% more likely to remember something we smell, than something we see, hear, touch or taste.

  • Additonal scent marketing research shows that there is a 40% improvement in mood after being exposed to pleasant scents.

  • Smell is subjective, yet a survey found that 85% of all people remembered their childhood when they caught the smell of Crayola crayons and the newer-scented coloured pens.

  • Early Developer
    The sense of smell is the first of all our senses to develop. Even before we are born, our sense of smell is fully formed and functioning.

  • Your sense of smell accounts for 75-95% of the impact flavor has.

  • Smell is the most sensitive of the senses. People can remember smells with 65% accuracy after a year, while visual recall is about 50% after three months.

  • A New Nose
    You can smell as fresh as a daisy every month and your scent cells are renewed every 28 days, so every four weeks you get a new nose.

  • Studies show that 75% of emotions are triggered by smell which is linked to pleasure, well-being, emotion and memory

  • The human nose has roughly 400 types of scent receptors that can at least detect 1 trillion different odours.
