If you’ve smelled any candle, perfume, or personal care product in the last twenty years, you have encountered Aroma-tune. But what actually is it? And how did it come about in the first place?
What is Aromatune?
Aromatune was created in 1998 by Jimmy Soileau & his son Jody. Jimmy was a Drilling Fluids Engineer exploring new “safer” chemicals for use downhole to allow Exploration companies to dig deeper wells. Jody was writing software and building hardware for a corrosion engineering firm and the two created the first program to catalog chemicals and benchmark their performance at depth & pressure. Seeing graphically the impact of each ingredient was a game changer and led to breakthroughs and the formation of Innosol, Inc., in 2000. Jody, a few years later, started Innosol’s Fragrance Division using this ingredient technology database to benchmark ingredients. Being able to prove the strength of a fragrance using data is a game changer.
The word Aroma-Tune is the product name of the software owned by Jimmy & Joe’s company, Innosol, Inc. But what actually is it?
Aroma-Tune® is data processing software used to view, measure and tune individual notes. Aroma-Tune® is bundled with our fragrance & flavor database containing 30,000 global brands, personal care, candle, pharma, and perfume formulas. We ‘ve developed the first platform to quantitatively and reproducibly measure odor and taste. Our platform enables firms to measure and optimize fragrances & flavors to better understand the specific odor molecules that influence consumer preferences. Aroma-Tune data provides product manufacturers with the tools and language to communicate the scent and flavor profile of their products to consumers, thereby building trust and engagement with their brands.
Many of our users start using Aroma-Tune to smooth out strong and weak notes to ensure the fragrance oil is correctly balanced. Once you’ve selected a formula, the software will scan it and provide a visual representation with a scent description of all notes. It picks out notes that don’t fit the scale and moves them back into line at the correct percentage(s). Aroma-tune also allows users to combine two fragrances together with ease. This allows users to create any combination of scents.
Where is Aromatune used?
Aroma-Tune is being adopted as the must have software by many R&D firms, along with perfumers, and independents.
The Aromatune software can be purchased through the Innosol, Inc. website after speaking with sales. This technological innovation is changing modern perfumery and the way that large corporations and CPG’s craft new fragrance oils. Many of the new fragrance combinations utilize it in some way.
