The Smell-Color Connection.

You might be thinking: What does color really have to do with scent? As it turns out, many studies that support the link between color and smell. In fact, the connection is so strong that color can influence the way we process fragrances. For example, according to an article in the Journal of Neurophysiology, when a strawberry beverage is tinted red, as opposed to green, many find it smells better. You read that right. The same scent can be perceived as more pleasing based on color alone.

We rely on our senses to help us make “sense” of the world around us. Since vision is one of our most dominant senses (source), it has a heavy influence on how we process our experiences—so much so that it can warp or greatly enhance our perception of reality. 

The Influence of Color.

Color can impact much more than our senses, getting straight to the heart of our emotions and moods. According to Mental Health America, color theory suggests that “colors and their frequencies have a physiological and psychological impact on your feelings and behavior.”

This might explain why walking into a spa decked out in cool blues and greens creates a sense of peace and calm, while a bright yellow or orange atmosphere feels more energizing and uplifting. In fact, color theory is often used in design to conjure up desired emotions and energies around a space.

The Power of Fragrance.

Color may be influential, but fragrance holds its own when it comes to impact. From relaxing lavender to invigorating peppermint to comforting vanilla, we’ve all experienced the emotional shift that a fragrance can create. And it’s not just in our heads. Aromatherapy has been used for thousands of years all around the world for its therapeutic benefits. According to an article in the National Library of Medicine, our sense of smell has been shown to deeply impact our mood and social behavior.

A Sight to Sniff. Two Scents to Love.

In short, our senses of sight and smell are powerhouses of perception and emotion. When crafting the Color Factory Collection, our perfumers leveraged color-forward ingredients to harness both senses for double the impact.

Are you ready to smell in color? Let your senses collide with Black Shadow and Orange Glow.

P.S. Keep a lookout in 2025 for more Color Factory Collection fragrances that’ll have you saying “Color me impressed”!
