Brands and countries

On episode 10, Jack speaks with Laurianne Libralesso, EMEA R&D Engineer at Bostik. Laurianne will give the audience a look at the ins and outs of odour in disposable hygiene. Their discussion includes the impact of odour on consumer preferences, how odour perception varies between countries, regions, and even individuals, and the challenges producers and suppliers face when it comes to odour.

Of the five senses, smell is tied most strongly to memory and emotion. For this reason, odour in disposable hygiene products is a serious consideration. Whether before, during, or after use, adult incontinence and feminine hygiene consumers prefer articles that have a pleasant, or at least neutral, scent. But it’s not as simple as it sounds. Learn more about the science behind odour and the effect it has on consumers when you listen to this episode of “Attached To Hygiene.” Host Jack Hughes talks to Bostik odour expert and R&D engineer Laurianne Libralesso about the many interesting factors that come into play with odour in absorbent articles.
