Comment on Do Different Ethnicities Smell Different? by yellard

I have noticed that people of black african descent have a distinct body smell that is recognisable.

No offence is meant. It is just a reality. I am attracted sexually to all races, but if I (firstly) find a black person attractive physically; then their body smell is an added bonus that really exictes me!

Comment on Scent Branding Predicted to Gain Momentum by Tracy Pepe

I agree with your two “scents”. First quarter is gaining quick momentum - more speaking conferences focusing on scent - more education - and more individuals learning why they should be scent marketing. I may have under estimated ASIA.

Cheers Tracy

Comment on Nonanal + CO2 = Olfactory Dinner Bell by liz

Hi Philip. A google search for “nonanal+buy” brought up about a half-dozen Chinese suppliers (usually in extremely large quantities, i.e. 50 gallon drums). Not knowing where you are located, it’d probably be a good idea to email one of these suppliers and inquire as to the legality of ordering/possessing nonanal in your area.

Many thanks for writing!

Comment on UNLV & Scent Marketing Institute Announce Collaboration by Tracy Pepe

I am so very pleased to hear about the effort being put forward to improve the education of scent marketing. We as an industry are finally at the point, that if scent marketing will continue to grow, we as an industry must further educate ourselves.

No longer, will the approach -of throwing a “scent” in the air, hoping for the ROI be acceptable among the mass. We are growing, congratulations Harald.

Comment on An Amazing Scent-Based Discovery To Eradicate MRSA by liz

Hi Brian. I can find no confirmation that the (not so rapid after all) review committee has either approved or disapproved the use of the BioScent solution to combat airborne microbes. The studies, however, appear to be continuing at Manchester Metropolitan University. This 2009 study from MMU reaches much the same conclusions as to the effectiveness of BioScent, stating in part:

AIMS: To determine whether essential oil (EO) vapours could reduce surface and airborne levels of bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). METHODS AND RESULTS: The antibacterial activity of geranium and lemongrass EO individually and blended were evaluated over a range of concentrations by direct contact and vapour diffusion. The EO were tested in vitro against a selection of antibiotic-sensitive and -resistant bacteria, including MRSA, vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), Acinetobacter baumanii and Clostridium difficile. An EO blend containing lemongrass and geranium was used to formulate BioScent that was dispersed into the environment using the ST Pro machine. The effects were variable depending on the methods used. In a sealed box environment, MRSA growth on seeded plates was reduced by 38% after 20 h exposure to BioScent vapour. In an office environment, the ST Pro machine dispersing BioScent effected an 89% reduction of airborne bacteria in 15 h, when operated at a constant output of 100%. CONCLUSIONS: EO vapours inhibited growth of antibiotic-sensitive and -resistant bacteria in vitro and reduced surface and airborne levels of bacteria. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Results suggest that EO vapours, particularly Bioscent, could be used as a method of air disinfection.
