Abstract:

In order to explore the reasonable collocation of fragrance and fabric, this paper focus on the effect of how different fabric colors and structure parameters influence people’s perception of fragrance. Through the subjective evaluation method, we evaluate and analyze the psychological feelings which are brought by the fabric’s fragrance. The experiment indicated that the subjective feelings and sensory synesthesia phenomenon affect people’s perception of fragrance. When the fragrance match with red fabric which color will bring a strong feeling, people feel the stronger smell. While the color of the fabric and the fragrance have a congruent visual association, the perception of the intensity of fragrance will be increased, the congruence match between the fragrance and color will be in the highest level, and also bring more pleasant feeling. In addition, yarn linear density, fabric weft density and fabric structure also have certain influences on compatibility of fabric and fragrance.The author hope it will provide a reference for fragrance fabric research and development.
