Hi Claire! 💖 I definitely "think" of colors when I smell fragrance, almost like a painting that emerges in my mind. I cannot say it's to the point where I can claim synesthesia as the reason. What an interesting phenomenon! And how is it that kids have some form of it and it goes away as they get older! The human body is phenomenal!

I think a lot of us will have a mild synaesthesia and a few with have a more extreme version. I spoke to someone with synaesthesia and she was describing fragrances as smelling colours I would never have associated with the smells. I was really shocked. Apparently with number synaesthesia there's an association of the shape of the numbers and the colour associated. And from family studies, researchers have realised that the colours aren't taught, but inherent to the sensation of the individuals. It's absolutely fascinating.

Such an interesting concept I think black can be mysterious and ethereal like a night sky (pure without light) For me, a patchouli/plum fragrance could go there or a black orchid/patchouli (like film noir) Color is a spectrum with both positive and negative associations

Yes, I seem to love purple flowers. I love lavender and violets. I love white flowers too especially tuberose and jasmine, but I really seem to love the purples. I also seem to love yellow flowers especially Ylang-Ylang. Which I have always loved and I used to buy pure essential oil of it just to smell it's warm sweet magic. I used to mix this oil with sandalwood into a carrier oil and wear it as perfume. I did this because I assumed perfume would be to synthetic for my skin which is very sensitive. Luckily I can wear perfume, carefully placing it on tougher areas of my skin. I also just purchased Love Osmanthus which I really like. My favorite citrus is lemon but I also love bitter orange. I'm crazy about amber in a base along with spices other than pepper which I hate. So purple, yellow maybe orange or golden and white seem to be things I like. It makes a nice pallet of color being somewhat complementary. Blue used to be a girl's color and pink for boys, but really all babies and young children of the upper classes used to wear white, maybe because it could be bleached? Babies are messy LOL. I love a grapey smelling lavender, but I hate mysticism etc, being a science fan. Carl Sagan's pale blue dot quote (from his book) along with voyagers dot in a sunbeam photo, is hanging in my hallway and a watercolor by Darwin in my bedroom. My bookshelves are filled with mostly the sciences, history of the people (not the rulers), philosophy, and art books.

Yes, I think I am similar with loving ylang ylang now and also purple florals like violet and lilac as well as the white ones. I really love particular types of amber too, particularly spicy ones or golden feeling ones. ☺️ The switching between which colours are associated with different sexes is really not clear cut. Our modern associations feel ingrained but it's clearly changed many times! I love hearing about people's beliefs but yes I'm a scientist at heart so I don't really have any thoughts in the supernatural direction. Thanks for watching 🥰

Hello Claire, I also think of colours when I smell fragrances. I'm not a synaesthete though because if I was it wouldn't necessarily match something tangible and I would even literally see the colours maybe. The interesting thing is that with some perfumes I immediatly and vividly see a colour (or colours), whereas other perfumes will evoke a thing, or a memory, or a feeling in the first second the whiff hits my brain. I'm quite attracted to orange evoking perfumes, a hot colour, but scents that are fresh, or lukewarm most of the time. I must say I like white clothes although I don't wear many of them for practical reasons, and I also like white flowers in perfumery a lot. I like all types of scents but I particularly enjoy clarity and vividness in my fragrances. I'm fascinated by the crafmanship of glass, and I like perfumes that give me the impression of vivid colours, like looking at coloured glass in the light 🙂

Argh no!! This video reminded me of an enormous disappointment in my life a few years before the pandemic. I found out that a gallery/museum in London was hosting an evening social event centred around fragrance and synaesthesia. They were making coloured cocktails with certain fragrances added at the bar and you were to taste them blindfolded, trying to assess what colour you thought they were based on smell and taste alone. That sort of thing. All night they had these fantastic interactive round-robin experiments and things to keep people socialising, talking and learning. My idea of fun, as opposed to sitting in a pub nursing a G & T and making small talk with people I don't care much about. As usual, I missed the event and only found out about it posthumously. Argh. I found your video here fascinating. A late condolence, much appreciated. 😄💯

Pink and purple quickly spring to mind with certain floral fragrances, but generally colors don't pop to mind for me.

I'm sure you will do an excellent job. I just love all of the associations we have with colours and how they can really influence what we perceive from smells. Fragrance in particular coloured bottles really leads you to think it will smell like that and it can be a shock if it doesn't! Niche bottles are often plainer so you have fewer expectations from them I guess. Definitely do your version with examples of each colour. I found when I was thinking about this that there were some fragrances that smelt one colour in the main and others that were more of a mix of a few, those were harder to sort out. Thanks for watching 🥰

Very interesting video Claire! I have seen TikTok videos about people with synesthesia, and it’s really fascinating! I don’t like the pure colour red- I even store my bottle of Glossier You on my tray without the red cap, I don’t display any of my red bottles and I don’t wear red, but my absolute favourite colour, especially in clothing, is a deep wine or plum, like mulberries. It’s like once you add that touch of dark purple, red goes from being my least favourite colour to my most favourite 😅 lol Nero Assoluto by Roberto Cavalli to me, smells like black. And anything with mimosa that reminds me of pollen definitely smells yellow to me!

I think you are absolutely right on all this. I tend to think of pencil shaving perfumes as a dark brown probably bc it makes me think of mahogany wood and old vintage places. I'm curious what you think of Aerin scents. So many of them have that creamy, gardenia and skin like vibe to them so I think of them in light earth tones but my favorite Cedar Violet has that light green lid.

Awesome video, greetings from New Zealand! I have total synesthesia when it comes to scents and colours (often actually seeing the colour flash before my eyes upon sniffing, regardless of the packaging hue). I gravitate towards pink (Roses Vanille is my signature scent), but I also like and wear red, gold and white scents. I cannot stand green (though I love the colour on me), yellow and blue (also love this colour on me) scents. I also used to be hypernosmic (even liking/disliking trusting/distrusting people because of their natural scent), before COVID19 messed with my olfaction... I still have a better sense of smell than the average person, but I'm devastated and still mourning the loss of my superpower, though I've done countless exercises to get it back... For context I could tell when people had cavities in their mouth (or when they had gut issues), I could smell the peppery scent that lingered when ants were squished, when females were on their cycle, and I could totally tell when people were unwell and did not know it because they didn't "smell like themselves"... like I said, devastating...

I associate the smell of lilac, grapes(rather something grape- soda-like than the fruit itself) and violet/iris/powdery with purple. As for the occult side, I'm not really into that, but I do associate incense with purple. I think this is the only correlation I make that's based on an idea rather than an actual purple object. I think my love for purple isn't strongly reflected in any aspect of my life. I am very attracted to anything purple, but I rarely act on it. Maybe I should do it more often 😀

Hi Claire! Loved this video as always. I think it's hard to not be aware of colours when you're into perfumes, given as you note here that the bottle design is really a persons first impression of the scent, even before they've smelt it. So I tend to find it jarring when I don't think the scent and the bottle go together - I wonder if you'd do a video on that? Maybe 5 perfumes where you think the bottle perfectly encapsulates the scent, and 5 where you find a real disconnect between the two. A recent one that I find odd is JPG's Divine, I really love the fragrance but I find the bottle (very golden and warm) makes me think of something very different - I think the scent is supposedly solar but I don't get that from it at all, so just think it's odd. I realised that even though I adore tuberose and know it's a white flower, I have no idea what colour I'd imagine it as - it's often so strong and vibrant in perfumes that I wouldn't ever actually associate it with white, it would have to be something much more colourful and joyful!

Thank you ❤️ oh yes 🤣 Gaultier Divine is maybe a light aqua blue or even a very pale peachy pink to me I think. It's definitely not golden. What colour do you see it as? I agree that coloured bottles that don't match with the scent profile are very very jarring. If you have an expectation and it's not fulfilled or entirely missed, there's an issue immediately and it can take a lot to bring it around. The fragrance has to be amazing to get over that. Tuberose is a big one, it can be lots of different colours to me depending on how it is used. It can even be purple or golden, as well as green and white! Thanks for watching and your insightful comment as always! 🥰

I did wonder whether that was why they didn't use that colour. I never smelt Fleur terrible, but I know it was very love or hate, maybe the limited availability of that one made them think it was worth another go with a similarly constructed fragrance in a bigger release? Were they very similar in smell?

This was a fun video. I definitely get the association fragrance/colour. I would never see myself wearing white breezy clothes while wearing a heavy vanilla scent, for example. I wouldn't wear a LBD and smell like a summery freshie.

A great idea for a video and yes I think we truly smell colours. Yes with Red, the danger and passion things are deeply related aren't they. It will definitely add to that appeal but in scents I think it's one that will suit certain moods and occasions. Pink, yes like red a traditionally "masculine" colour. Blood and war. And actually a pretty modern colour named after the flower. One that was known as rose traditionally. Probably why it was also linked to romance. I'd say I have a good few pink smelling ones. Orange is a strange colour, I love it with dark colours, it's quite warm then. Maybe the autumn connection. I'm not a fan of fresh or bright orange. Yellow, again it's a weird colour isn't it. I think in my mind it conjures old fashioned. You don't really see many folks in yellow nowadays. In fragrance, yes I like yellow, mimosa, ylang-ylang and the tropical ones. Ray-flection certainly is the yellowest of yellows. Gold isn't a colour I really like. Maybe honey and ambers and resins. White is also a colour I'm not a fan of. It's very cold and like you say empty. I also have aversions to milk and snow 😅. But I do love my white florals. Cream also is not a colour I love. Weirdly I find RIL kinda red but that maybe the almondy vibe. Like you say that's the brilliance that we all smell different things. Yes green, along with blue the traditional colours of "feminity" due to the connections to nature and "mother" earth. I do struggle with greener notes. Silver again is not a colour I like, though I do love grey, probably the colour I wear the most. Yes iris can be very silver. Blue, yes that traditional female colour until the late 19th Century and blue sailor boy outfits. And yes with the herbs, clary sage and rosemary make me think of swimming pools

I have those associations only with green fragrances, all the others I got with my perfume journey throughout the years. I have a music and sound variety in my brain instead. For example the sour notes, like some forms of moss and lemons, sour berries (like in Meliora PDM) sounds like the high piano notes. Some amber sounds to me like chello, woods are often reminiscent of drums of different kind. Some very complex compositions are storming my brain with symphony, others sound like pop music. The most misunderstood color for me is red, I get if the deep roses are in there, or cherry, but not smth like BaccaratRouge.

Gosh you've thought about this! Do you think you have a degree of synaesthesia perhaps? And wow, yes! I smelt the moon a few months back and yes, it was very dark! So expensive too 🤣

Such fascinating stuff! I certainly have a visualization component to abstract sensations like smell, taste, and sound. I secretly have a music degree, and having some kind of mental visual component is pretty standard among my colleagues! Whether it's truly synesthesia or perhaps subconscious visual association from the deepest, darkest archives of your mind, I couldn't say. Probably a little bit of both, I'd imagine! As soon as you said "American grape" I immediately knew it had be our fake ass grape flavor, which probably has a fake ass grape scent. Based off of Conchord grape, a variety we don't generally even eat. I'm not a huge fan as you can imagine and apologize for anyone having to eat it or smell it as a result of our worldwide cultural influence. I think most of the world gets delicious mango as part of their standard flavorings and is mercifully spared from the pitiful pungent epitome of purple.

Absolutely loved the vid. Very interesting that cinnamon makes you think of red! Valentine's cinnamon hearts perhaps? ❤😄 Pink is certainly roses for me too. And this may seem very strange, but although most of my upbringing was during the 90's aquatic era where everything for men was being marketed as blue (as well as the modern blue craze), once I became interested in raw materials, blue suddenly became the ONLY colour that I no longer see when smelling a fragrance. Really quite strange. Perhaps an unconscious rebellion of sorts? Then again, very little is inherently blue in nature, including both sea and sky. In a sense, it's literally the ultimate fantasy colour. Even purple I associate with methylanthraniliate.

I remember back in the late 90s original source coming out and me being obsessed with the spearmint and the lemon and mint, I absolutely loved those. Greener and sweeter sounds like it would be nicer actually. Blue can be a bit extreme in fragrance.

It really throws me off when the bottle doesn't match the smell in color. If I were to look for a clean, milky, elegant everyday scent, I would never stop at the Rolling in Love bottle in store and smell it. At least in the past I wouldn't have. I had never tested Hypnotic Posion edt in stores for the longest time, because I expected a red fruits scent. I just don't think of red when smelling or thinking of a creamy almond fragrance. Also, if a cake/cookie gourmand scent had a turquoise bottle, I would be hesitant to try it. I associate blues with aquatic smells, and there's nothing worse for me than an aquatic baked goods gourmand scent. Cinnamon normally is golden brown to me, the red association every now an then comes from Big Red chewing gum, when the cinnamon note smells similar to the gum.

... I'm curious when the association does NOT match the color of the presentation or the color of the objects which the scent represents. Why does the opening of Le Male Le Parfum smell deep red when there's nothing deep red in the presentation or the scent. Why are blue fragrances called as such when the scent profile of Sauvage is nothing like YSL Y with is nothing like Blue de Channel or Gucci Guilty for men. The all work with a denim outfit but not jeans are blue. I don't think you need to be synaesthetic to make the association that strawberries, peppers, etc are red and therefore it's gotta be a red scent.

Yeah I've not seen the labels in the flesh but on screen they look terrible. The brand is pretty big now, people expect more when brands get bigger. A nice label is not beyond most indie brands.

One of my first purple (Violet) fragrances was April Violets by Yardley. I wore it during my teen years. Another fragrance that smells purple to me is Dior Poison. I actually coordinate my clothing, makeup, and fragrance by color! I’ve always matched clothing and makeup, but I wasn’t aware that I was including fragrance until recently. It’s comforting in a way…. This was such an interesting video! I enjoyed every moment of it!❤️💛💚🩷💜🤎🤍💙

Thank you ❤️ I definitely think I coordinate my fragrance with my mood or what I would like my mood to be. I'm not sure I manage coordinating my clothing colours all the time, but maybe some of the time. Interesting that you think of Dior poison as purple, I guess that's probably the plum? Thanks for watching and have a fab Sunday 🥰

@@dr.claire.perfume I’m going to start taking note of my mood when I choose my fragrance. I never considered that as a piece of the puzzle. Another interesting concept.
