Techniques are disclosed for generating a mixture of olfactory compounds to diffuse based on a flavor signature delta measured between samples prepared according to a recipe. An application obtains a flavor signature for a canonical sample prepared according to the recipe and a flavor signature for a sample subsequently prepared according to the recipe. The application generates a flavor signature delta from the flavor signatures of the samples. The flavor signature delta indicates a difference in the measure of each of the olfactory compounds in the samples. The application identifies a mixture of olfactory compounds in the flavor signature delta based on the difference. The application then directs an aroma diffusing device to diffuse the identified mixture of olfactory compounds.
