Scentible is designed to make sensory training accessible, consistent, and repeatable. Whether you’re working alone or leading a calibration session, these steps will help you get the most from your kit.

Each Scentible contains 165 precise sprays, allowing for ample use across multiple sessions while ensuring consistent delivery of the aroma and flavour every time. By following the steps provided, you’ll maximize the value of your kit and build a more refined, reliable sensory skillset.

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Choose a neutral, well-ventilated environment free from strong odours such as perfume, food, or cleaning products. Have clean cupping bowls, spoons, and water on hand.

Whenever possible, use ceramic or glass vessels — avoid paper cups, which can absorb and distort aroma perception.

2. Prepare the Coffee and Add Scentible

Spray Scentible directly into the vessel according to your experience level:
Beginners: 3 sprays
Intermediate: 2 sprays
Professional: 1 spray

Use a 200–220ml vessel or a standard cupping bowl, then add 100ml of brewed coffee and 100ml of boiling water to dilute — a 50% dilution. This helps flatten the coffee’s natural flavour profile so the added aroma becomes the highlight.

For each session, also include one cupping bowl without Scentible as a control. This allows participants to compare the base coffee against the scented version and recognise the influence of the aroma compound.

3. Engage Your Senses

Smell the prepared sample directly from the vessel. Inhale deeply, pause briefly, and exhale through the nose to engage retronasal olfaction.
Take note of your first impressions before identifying the aroma category — focus on clarity and memory association.

For aroma-only exercises, use a small, sealable vial or container. Scentible’s acrylic aroma containers are ideal for isolating, preserving, and reusing aromas between sessions.
