International Flavors & Fragrances and tech startup Vapor Communications will collaborate to advance the future of digital scent, the companies announced, by combining certain Vapor software and hardware scent platform with IFF scent technology and expertise. The firms expect the alliance to bring mobile scent experiences to consumers.

Powering Vapor Communications’ technology is oNotes, a software platform for scent communication that permits the integration of scent into electronics. oChip is a scent cartridge that embeds in electronic devices, clothing, furniture and other objects to deliver personal scent experiences.

IFF and Vapor will work closely on the creation of consumer offerings that will leverage the versatility of the oNotes platform and IFF’s consumer insights and fragrance expertise. The products resulting from this partnership will offer consumers greater control over the scent in their immediate environment.

Plans are currently underway for the first consumer product from IFF and Vapor in the first half of 2016.
