Scents & Your Sensory Identity
The idea for PINROSE started when one of our founders, Erika Shumate, who studied the psychology of smell and the sensory phenomenon of synesthesia at Yale University, had a stroke of brilliance –
What if the principles of synesthesia could create not only exceptionally sensory-rich fragrances, but also detect a person’s sensory preferences and thereby be the ultimate in scent finders?
And that’s how PINROSE scents and our one-of-a-kind, synesthesia-based Sensory Identities and quiz came to be. You can take the quiz right now or explore all the Identities first.
