The Science 

The Science Behind Scent Marketing & Aromatherapy

At Scent Central we are continually focusing on scientific outcomes for our clients. As a result, our scientific process of combing premium scenting with aromatherapy allows us to create tailored, successful and measurable multi-sensory marketing results for our clientele. To summarise, our scientifically proven concept and process may be comprehensive, our main goal is simply to produce the finest scent marketing and aromatherapy outcome for your business.

How it Works?

Our sense of smell is closely tied to those areas of the brain which are primarily concerned with the associations between memory and emotion, our olfactory system. In fact, scientific research has proven that our sense of smell is one of the most powerful emotional triggers. Memories associated with a particular olfactory experience tend to be stronger than those without, and the recognition of a distinct scent can immediately call up strong images of the place where that scent was first encountered.

How Scent is Processed by the Brain

OUR OLFACTORY SYSTEM
Our sense of smell begins right at the back of our nose where there are millions of sensory neurons called the olfactory epithelium located just under our olfactory bulb. Each different odour activates can activate several different receptors that create an intricate neural code that we can identify as a particular scent, such as lemongrass or cinnamon. Leslie Vosshall, a scientist who studies olfaction at Rockefeller University, describes the receptors as “like locks” with the keys being the odour molecules. Vosshall also noted that these receptors give us the ability to smell and identify up to one trillion different aromas.

The sensory neurons create an electrical signal that is sent from the olfactory bulb to the piriform cortex, where smell is identified, and to the Thalamus. The Thalamus is like a distribution hub that transfers the signals to the Orbitofrontal Cortex, the decision making and emotional processing hub, as well as on to the Hippocampus and Amygdala both apart of our Limbic System responsible for memory and learning

WHY ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential oils are composed of a completely natural compounds that are sourced from pure plant extracts. Essential oils are obtained through the distillation of the naturally sourced compound.

We choose to use pure Essential Oil fragrances for our scenting solutions to provide our clients with the solution capable of influencing the subliminal decision making of consumers. In fact, it has been scientifically proven that essential oils are much more effective than synthetic fragrance oils.

We responsibly source all our essential oil ingredients from reputable suppliers from around the world. All fragrances are then made in Australia meaning you are able to enjoy the very best scent Australia has to offer. To summarise, our this unique multi sensory experience using essential oils is the best way to building an aroma brand, increase sales and dominate your market.
