Abstract
  The relationship between olfactory and other four sensations was examined by expressing a perfume material. Sixty-one panels evaluated three perfume (musk,lemon,and rose) and selected some appropriate expressions out of the 32 words. These words consisted of 8 words for each of four sensations. The 8 words were chosen as corresponding with a sensory attribute. The ratios of selected words for three perfume materials were calculated in each of four sensations. The results of the ratios and SURYOKA III demonstrated that the words expressive of four sensations except for olfactory was affected by visual and haptic expressions and especially the relation between olfactory and haptic sensation was strong. It was possible to evaluate a perfume material using a verbal expression due to synaesthesia.
