At launch, MovieScent ships with a starter equipment of six scent bottles. On paper, all of them sound fairly atypical.

MovieScent additionally ships with a scent neutralizer spray which clears the air after the scene is over.

Quickly after launch, Elevated Perceptions is getting slightly extra… formidable. Accessible “inside the subsequent few weeks,” MovieScent will assist scents like hearth, zombie, and blood.
