AromaGen Generates Smells That Pass Blind Tests at 71% Accuracy
pliang279 · x · 2026-11-13
AromaGen is an AI smell-generation system. In three-way blind tests across 50 substances and 12 smell categories, participants identified AI-generated smells with 71% accuracy, more than double the 33% random-chance baseline. Users rated realism 4.65/7 on average — citrus, lavender and cheese scored highest; popcorn, chocolate and roast beef lowest.
To tackle the subjectivity of smell, AromaGen supports iterative relative feedback (e.g. "make it spicier"), continuously learning individual preferences to improve generations.
