Vapor Communications has launched Cyrano, billed as a digital scent speaker and mood modification platform. The portable and battery-operated personal consumer electronics device can remotely play sequences of scents called “mood medleys.” Each scent in a mood medley lasts up to a few minutes, long enough for the scent to be perceived by the user while short enough to avoid the olfactory fatigue associated with traditional scent technology, such as candles and air fresheners.
Inside Cyrano is a replaceable cartridge with a palette of up to 12 distinct scents specifically designed by the company's partner, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc.
Consumers can place Cyrano in the cup holder of their car, on a desk, bed stand, or in any personal space where they live or work. With an oNotes app, Cyrano plays the desired sequence of scents. People can also create their own personal mood medleys and share them with friends via social networks too.
"Cyrano introduces to the commercial market a revolutionary new way to link one of the most important human senses to our digital world," said David Edwards, Vapor Communications co-founder, inventor and Harvard professor.
"We are excited to collaborate with Vapor Communications to explore the frontier of digital scent," said Nicolas Mizrayantz, IFF group president, Fragrances. "With our deep understanding of sensorial experience and expertise in fragrance, Cyrano will allow consumers to turn their cars and other small spaces into a kind of personal sanctuary."
