When our olfaction (sense of smell) is impaired, we become insensitive to unusual odors and cannot detect danger. Olfaction is an important sense for our safety and health.

Scentignal is a system that uses indirect communication through scents to raise olfactory awareness in your everyday life. Once the 'Scent Sender' chooses a scent to send out of four in a device which uses a conventional phone as a motif, the chosen scent comes out from the handset of the 'Scent Receiver'. Scentignal makes you continue the olfactory training by daily communication with your partner through scents.
