This study investigated consumer's fragrance preferences as well as image, color, and TPO associations with fragrance. Eight branded perfumes of four fragrance families were selected according to the top note (floral, fruity, green, and citrus) as stimuli; consequently, fragrance preferences and associations were measured. A survey that included a scent test was conducted; subsequently, 186 responses from male and female consumers in their twenties were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, paired t-test, and chi-square analysis. The fruity fragrance was shown to be preferred the most. The perfume itself was associated with cool image, blue or pale tone colors, summer, and casual occasions in general, while a citrus fragrance was related to warm, winter, and deep tone colors in specific. Fragrance associations could be utilized in perfume marketing plans and activities such as advertising and packaging development.

The purpose of this study is to investigate ideal body image and clothing style through the analysis of models portrayed in fragrance advertisement that is the representative goods showing the fashion brand image. For this study, 120 perfume advertisements appeared in GQ and Vogue magazines issued in 2002 were selected. The models' characteristics portrayed in advertisement are categorized with role relationship, race, body exposure and clothing styles. The results are as follows. 1. Fragrance advertisements most commonly depict a single model portraying narcissism, and later then most common are advertisements both male and female model in a sexual relationship. 2. The analysis of models' race shows racism toward Asian models and Afro- American models. White models are main characters in fragrance advertisements more often than other races, and in mixed-ethnic ads, whites typically outnumbered minorities. This shows currently aesthetic stereotypes, that is, white ideology still exists. 3. The results of models' body exposure are showing nudism with partially clad or nude. This shows the eroticism of male and female. 4.

색은 중요한 시각적 자극 요인으로서 향 연상과 식별에 있어 교차-양상적 영향을 미친다. 이에 본 연구는 향의 연상이 색상과 톤에 의해 체계적으로 변화하는지를 살펴봄으로써 색과 향의 교차-양상 연상 측면을 좀더 심층적으로 조사하고자 한다. 67명의 피실험자들은 33가지의 색채 자극(10가지 색상, 3가지 톤, 3가지 무채색)에 대한 4가지 전형적인 향수 유형(프레쉬, 플로럴, 오리엔탈, 우디)의 연상 정도를 각각 7점 척도로 평가 하였다. 통계 분석을 통해 4가지 향수의 연상 정도가 색채 자극의 10가지 색상에 따라 차별화된 패턴을 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 오리엔탈 유형을 제외한 나머지 세 가지 향에 있어서, 톤(특히, 밝기)과 향간의 교차-양상 연상관계가 체계적으로 변화하는 양상을 보였다(예를 들어, 플러럴 향과 색의 밝기는 양의 상관관계를 보임). 밝은 난색일수록 강한 플러럴향이 연상되는 반면, 우디향의 연상 정도는 낮게 나타났다. 선명하거나 밝은 한색일수록 프레쉬향이 강하게 연상되었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 향수제품에 있어 시각과 후각간의 체계적인 공감각적 상호작용이 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

향수제품의 향에 적합한 색을 향수병과 포장지에 적용함으로써, 제품의 향을 소비자들에게 효과적으로 전달할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 두 개의 실험연구를 통해 색과 향의 교차-양상 연상관계를 조사하였다. 첫 번째 실험에서는 현재 시장에 출시되어 있는 약 200여개 향수병의 색을 분석하여 향의 종류에 따른 차별화된 색채 디자인 패턴을 발견하였다. 두 번째 실험에서는 국내 소비자들을 대상으로 향과 색의 대응관계를 조사하였다. 향수병을 볼 수 없는 상황에서 피실험자들에게 세 가지 향수제품의 향을 맡은 후 연상되는 색을 선택하게 하였다. 그 결과 세 가지 향수제품 모두 차별화된 색상(hue) 대응이 이루어졌고, 선정된 색상은 실제 향수병의 색상과 상당히 유사한 색상 영역에 분포하였다. 또한 향수제품의 세 가지 향 노트(상향, 중향, 하향)에 따라 연상되는 색의 현저한 톤(tone) 변화를 발견하였다. 위의 두 가지 실험을 통해 시중에 판매되고 있는 향수제품에 있어 향과 색 간의 뚜렷한 교차-양상 연상관계가 있음을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study was to explore consumer behavior of perfume products. Data were collected through 7 focus group interviews with 33 female consumers whose ages ranged between the 20's and 40's. According to analysis of groups divided by age and frequency of use, some group differences were found in information source, purchase place, consideration factors, fragrance preference, etc. The study results indicated that perfume consumption behaviors could be explained in part by the innovation adoption and communication theories. Especially, relative advantage, compatibility, observability, and trialability were important factors influencing consumers' adoption of new perfume. Also, many respondents used perfume as a tool to present their own image and identity, as well as to send messages regarding their mood and condition to others.

This study was designed to identify and compare the consumption value and interest in appearance with regard to the comparison of men's cosmetics purchase decision factors. We conducted a survey among 259 men who have experienced the re-purchase of men's cosmetics. All data was analyzed with the SPSS Windows 17.0 program in terms of frequency, percentage, means, standard deviations, paired-t test, Cronbach $\alpha$, factor analyses, and multiple regression. In summary, three findings emerged from this study. First, men's cosmetics purchase decision factors included two subfactors: product quality factors (price, quality, skin compatibility, fragrance) and image factors (trend, brand image, consciousness of others, diversion). Second, a paired-t test revealed that the consideration toward the image factors of a first time purchase decision was lower than the re-purchase decision factors. However the consideration toward the product quality factors of a first time purchase decision was not different from the re-purchase decision factors. Third, the product quality factors were positively influenced by distinction factors of appearance and functional value. And social value, emotional value, and curiosity value were found to be effective in the image factors at the first time of purchase and re-purchase. Also, the product quality factors of re-purchase decisions were influenced by the satisfaction of the first time purchase. This study will contribute to provide some information for marketers in understanding men's cosmetics purchase decisions and to offer basic data for marketing strategies and product development.
