Proved The Powerful Connection Between Scent And Memory
So, what does this mean for your brand?
Let's dig a little deeper. “With all of the other senses, you think before you respond, but with scent, your brain responds before you think.”
- PAM SCHOLDER ELLEN, A GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY MARKETING PROFESSOR
Why it Works
More than any other sense, your sense of smell is an immediate trigger for emotions and memories.
That’s because your sense of smell is connected directly to the limbic system, the right brain’s feeling and emotional center. All other senses are processed through the left brain’s interpretive center first. So, while we have to process the things we see or hear, what we smell registers immediately.
"No other sensory system has this type of intimate link between emotion and associative learning."
- HERZ 2002
“75% of emotions are generated by smell.”
- BELL AND BELL 2007

Those born after 1960 were more likely to remember artificial scents from their youth – Play-Doh, Crayola crayons, Keds, SweetTarts.
