From Performance to Experience: The Rise of Multisensory Formulation
 
As expectations increase, performance alone is no longer enough. Products must also deliver a clear and consistent experience across touch, appearance, fragrance and after-feel.
 
This is the focus of my upcoming poster at the SCS Annual Conference in Liverpool, where I introduce a five-sense formulation framework for product design.
 
The idea is simple but powerful. Consumers do not evaluate products through a single metric. They experience them holistically. Texture, spread, absorption, fragrance coherence and visual cues all contribute to perceived performance.
 
For formulators, this means one shift.
 
Design not just for technical success, but for sensory coherence that supports the intended claim and positioning. - https://www.scsannualconference.com/

If you are attending any of these, or working on products that need stronger alignment between formulation, claims and market readiness, I would be glad to connect.
 
Let’s continue the conversation where science meets decision making.
