Music and Fragrance Become One

“Aromance ™ Aroma Disc™ presents: Romance is in the Air”
CBS Special Products/Environmental Fragrance Technologies
In 1982, a perfume company called Charles of the Ritz released a product that, after long years, finally bridged the gap between the music and air-freshener industries: The Aromance ™ Aroma Disc™ player.
The Aroma Disc™ player did not play records, but small plastic discs injected with individually-themed scents, with such names as “Passion”, “Ocean Breeze”, “A Dozen Roses”, “Holding Hands”, “After Dinner Mints”, and even “Movie Time”, which smelled of buttered popcorn.
This LP was, at some point, sold along with the aroma player. It appears to be a generic CBS Special Products sampler branded with an Aroma Disc™ cover. The vinyl itself doesn’t even mention Aroma Disc™, and bears the title, “To My Love”.
From the back cover:
Romance is in the air! It takes hold of your heart… sends your spirits soaring… and now, it tantalizes your senses as never before– as music and fragrance become one.
Experience evenings you will remember with the songs of “ROMANCE IS IN THE AIR” and your favorite mood setting Aroma Disc fragrance records. Discover the alluring scent of SEDUCTION, the perfect compliment to Peter Nero’s “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me.” Enjoy the fragrant serenade of MOONLIGHT… a soft haunting background to the poignant “Theme From Love Story.” Or, listen to Ray Conniff’s “Laughter in the Rain” with the delicate whisper of an ENGLISH GARDEN. Andy Williams singing “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” and the sweet aroma of HONEYSUCKLE & ROSE. Or, add an exciting new dimension to any selection with the enticing fragrance of PASSION.
Let your imagination and mood be your guide. Experiment with your fragrance and musical combinations for a uniquely special evening. It’s an enchanting world of fragrance, music, and emotion– a total sensory experience which you create. Simply turn down the lights… turn on the music… and let the fragrance play.
