Olfacoustics: The Science and Practice of Auditory–Olfactory Interplay | British Society of Perfumers

This presentation explores olfacoustics, the relationship between sound and smell, and how musical structures can evoke olfactory associations and influence the perception of fragrance. Led by Dr. Asteris Zacharakis, a researcher in sound and music cognition, the talk bridges neuroscience, music cognition and perfumery, highlighting scientific research and creative applications of auditory–olfactory connections. It will examine how sound could become another tool in the perfumer’s creative process, opening new possibilities for fragrance development and sensory experiences.
