Abstract

In this study, we set up an experiment to explore the integration of scent in the user interactions with personal products. Using smartphone as a product sample, twenty (20) subjects were presented with variant of scents and images showing various scenarios of user-product interaction clarified with short descriptive words. Using this process, we attempted to elicit both connotative meaning and affective responses using SD (Semantic Differencial) method and SAM (Self-Assessment Manikin) tool.
