PARIS, Oct. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- IFF today announced the launch of its first sound logo to the business-to-business (B2B) perfumery, home and personal care industries. Developed with Paris-based sound research lab IRCAM Amplify, the sound, named "World of Scents," represents IFF's creative and pioneering ambitions, and the human experience they aim to evoke.

Key Points: 
  • Earlier this year, IFF signed a partnership with IRCAM Amplify, exploring the emotional connections between sound and scent.
  • Together, they conducted a ground-breaking study showing that a purposefully designed sound increased scent purchase intent by nearly 60 percent in an e-commerce site.
  • "Scent and sound are both invisible but have a profound impact on sensory perception," said Sergio Gelernter, chief marketing officer, Scent, IFF.
  • To create the "World of Scents" sound logo, the IFF and IRCAM Amplify teams used the Amplify SPEAK methodology, drawing inspiration from the vision of IFF's Scent division.
