Imagine a fragrance that not only smells divine but also uplifts your spirits. Welcome to the new era of perfumery where scents are crafted to enhance your mood and overall wellbeing. In this article, we explore how advancements in perfumery, powered by big data and AI, are transforming the way fragrances are created to boost your mood.

The Evolution of Perfumery

Perfumery has come a long way from its ancient origins. What started as simple mixtures of natural ingredients has evolved into a sophisticated science. Today, perfumes are meticulously crafted, not just to please the senses, but to evoke emotions and improve wellbeing. The modern perfume shop offers an array of fragrances that cater to different tastes and preferences, many of which are built using incredibly complex structures of both natural, naturally-derived and man-made (synthetic) ingredients.

How Scent Affects Mood

Scent has a profound impact on our emotions. The olfactory system, which processes smells, is directly linked to the brain's limbic system, the area responsible for emotions and memory. This connection explains why certain scents can instantly lift our mood or evoke vivid memories. Companies like Givaudan are leveraging this connection by developing fragrances that specifically target emotional wellbeing, ensuring that every whiff of your signature scent leaves you feeling better.

One of their most exciting advancements in mood-boosting perfumes is a technology known as VivaScentz™, which measures consumer wellbeing holistically and helps perfumers create fragrances that enhance quality of life by promoting positive emotional responses. One such scent that has been approved by their algorithm to boost your mood is Osmanthe Liu Yuan by Le Jardin Retrouvé.

Big Data and AI in Modern Perfumery

The integration of big data and AI has revolutionized many industries, and perfumery is no exception. These technologies allow perfumers to analyze vast amounts of data on consumer preferences, scent compositions, and emotional responses. By understanding these patterns, perfumers can create fragrances that are more likely to resonate with users on a personal level. Big data and AI also enable customized fragrance solutions, making it easier for consumers to navigate the world of scent.

Many have confused our Fragrance Finder as an AI system. Fiole's system is in fact human-made and is based on a complex consultation structure developed by our two founders during their many years of working with some of the world's most notable fragrance houses.
