    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Language interacts with olfaction in exceptional ways.\nOlfaction is believed to be weakly linked with language, as\ndemonstrated by our poor odor naming ability, yet olfaction\nseems to be particularly susceptible to linguistic descriptions.\nWe tested the boundaries of the influence of language on\nolfaction by focusing on a non-lexical aspect of language\n(grammatical gender). We manipulated the grammatical\ngender of fragrance descriptions to test whether the\ncongruence with fragrance gender would affect the way\nfragrances were perceived and remembered. Native French\nand German speakers read descriptions of fragrances\ncontaining ingredients with feminine or masculine\ngrammatical gender, and then smelled masculine or feminine\nfragrances and rated them on a number of dimensions (e.g.,\npleasantness). Participants then completed an odor recognition\ntest. Fragrances were remembered better when presented with\ndescriptions whose grammatical gender matched the gender of\nthe fragrance. Overall, results suggest grammatical\nmanipulations of odor descriptions can affect odor cognition.",
