Abstract: Scented packaging may provide an aromatic gas to a consumer upon consumption, such as may be used to augment a flavor, and/or add a flavor to a consumable item. Consumable items configured for consumption in the presence of an aromatic gas may be reduced in caloric sweetener content, reduced in salt content, reduced in the content of another ingredient or a combination of ingredients may be reduced in content. Scented packaging may also provide a scent that acts to remove or block an undesirable scent provided from a consumable item or portion of packaging.
