Rhythms and Scents: Exploring Musical Genres in Perfumery

Rhythms and Scents: Exploring Musical Genres in Perfumery

Have you ever thought about how your favourite song makes you feel? Now, imagine if you could translate those feelings into a scent, a perfume. How intriguing would that be? As we embark on this exploratory journey, we'll delve into the world of jazz perfume and urban perfume. We'll understand how music genres influence our choice of fragrances and learn how to pick the right scent - the one that resonates with us most.

The Intersection of Music and Scent

The association between music and scent dates back to when Septimus Piesse, a 19th-century perfumer attempted to create an 'odophone', linking musical notes to scents. This concept, which has become more widely recognised today as crossmodal correspondence, manages to harmonise our olfactory and auditory experiences. The intersection between music and scent does more than just create multisensory narratives. It opens up newer avenues for contemporary artists and marketers alike who are leveraging this relationship to enhance customer experiences.

Research suggests that specific musical parameters can influence olfactory stimuli. The perceived warmth of a scent could influence the pitch of musical improvisations hinting at the potential for unique creative outputs inspired by scents.
