Kuala
Lumpur, 19 November 2015: There is nothing
like the smell of freshly-washed laundry, cookies baking in the oven, or
flowers in bloom to put a smile on your face.
Such wonderful scents
simply lift our spirits, making us feel more positive and nurturing, even when
our environment is stressful or overwhelming.
Kleenex® introduces a new way to enjoy its softness, infusing rose
essential oil or cherry blossom fragrance into its first Kleenex® 3-Ply Scented Facial Tissues for an absolutely delightful
and uplifting user experience.
There is a substantial body
of research that supports the link between fragrance and well-being, as the
sense of smell is one of the most direct ways people interact with their
surroundings. Professor Charles Spence from Oxford University, an expert in
multisensory experiences, finds that fragrances can influence how people relate
to something they feel. For example, participants in a study, rated pieces of
fabric as much softer when presented
with a lemon scent than they did when the same swatches were presented with an
animal-like odour.[i]
Another expert and author, Jane C Anderson, also stresses on the
importance of smell, as it is the most impactful and lingering of all the
senses.[ii]
It is also known that floral scents in particular cultivate
a happier, more optimistic outlook and this can have a positive effect on how
people interact with others[iii]
- just imagine the impact a pack of Kleenex®
3-Ply Scented Facial Tissues can have around the home and office, or
carried around in a purse!
“In spite of all the evidence, the power of scent is often overlooked. Through the new Kleenex® 3-Ply Scented Facial Tissues, we offer Malaysians a new
way to enjoy the experience,” said Mr Raman Tarun, Marketing
Director, Kimberly-Clark Malaysia. “By pairing
the scents of rose and cherry blossom with the well-known softness of Kleenex®
facial tissues, we have created a multisensorial partnership to bring a
positive influence that can have an enriching impact on our everyday lives and
relationships.”
“In essence, every time a person uses our scented facial tissues, it
elevates the normal act of cleaning up to a sensorial experience that lifts
your spirits, making it easier to deal with the demands of daily life.
To introduce these exciting new variants, Malaysians are invited to join
the “power of scent” movement and bring softness and scent into their lives and
into those of their loved ones simply by requesting for a sample of the
brand-new Kleenex® 3-Ply Scented Tissues
at http://powerofscent.kleenex.com.my and share uplifting messages on social media with the hashtag #KleenexPowerofScent.
