The Science
Studies show that through regular training we can re-establish the disturbed communication between nose and brain.
By combining scents and images, ReScent offers a simple way to develop new pathways between the nose and our neuroplastic brain, improving the ability to identify common smells, but also increasing cognitive function generally.²

Analysing your sense of smell
Anosmia, hyposmia and parosmia may be symptoms of infection (common cold, flu, COVID-19), head trauma, neurological or psychological disorders such as degenerative diseases, depression or severe and continuous stress.
Impaired sense of smell

Anosmi
No sense of smell
Distorted sense of smell
Parosmi
Boost your brain
Regular scent training helps to activate the neural pathways to the brain's memory centre – the hippocampus – and recent studies have shown that olfactory training in older people (+57) can improve cognitive abilities, in certain instances, even more than daily sudokus!²
Prevent dementia
Dementia is steadily increasing throughout the world, and by 2050, 130 million will have contracted some
form of dementia.
Studies show that older people (+57) who struggle to identify common odours are twice as likely to develop dementia within five years.³
By committing to regular scent training, older adults have been shown to not only improve olfactory ability but also improve cognitive function.
