Sensorisktastisk

Sensorisktastisk is a neologism, a newly coined word, that describes an experience characterized by a profound and overwhelming positive engagement of multiple senses. It combines the words "sensory," relating to the senses, and "fantastisk," the Swedish word for fantastic, implying something wonderful or amazing. The term suggests a situation where sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch (and potentially even proprioception or the sense of one's body in space) all contribute to a deeply pleasurable and memorable sensation.

This term is often used informally to describe moments of exceptional sensory delight. Examples might include attending a vibrant festival with colorful displays, captivating music, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere, or experiencing a perfectly curated meal where each dish offers a unique and harmonious combination of flavors, aromas, textures, and visual appeal. The concept emphasizes the synergistic effect of various sensory inputs creating an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts. It is not a formally recognized scientific or psychological term but rather a descriptive and evocative expression used to capture a peak sensory experience. The emphasis is on the intensity and positivity of the sensory input.
