scent markers

Most scented marker sets are labeled for children aged 3 years and up. Some craft kits and larger sets specify suitability for ages 6 and up.

Product descriptions indicate that the ink color is matched to the scented topper or scent theme, so the visible color corresponds with the named scent.

Scents are mostly fruity or dessert-style. Examples listed include Raspberry, Watermelon, Cherry, Orange, Banana, Mango, Bubblegum, Coconut, Mint, Apple, Fruit Punch, Blueberry, Grape, Cinnamon, Licorice, and dessert/flavor names such as Red Velvet Cake, Orange Dreamsicle, Bananas Foster, Key Lime Pie, Mint Chocolate Chip, Berry Smoothie, PB&J Sandwich, Fluffernutter, Caramel Macchiato, S'more, Coconut Cluster, and Strawberry Shortcake.

Some scented highlighters include novelty features such as gummy-bear toppers that emit scents, matching-color ink tied to the topper, light-up toppers that illuminate when pressed, removable or hidden heads that reveal a chisel-tip highlighter, and compact collectible sizes (examples listed around 2 inches tall or 5 inches long).

Review summaries commonly praise scents as strong and nostalgic and describe the colors as vibrant. Reviewers report reliable coloring performance and suitability for classroom use. A minority of reviewers mentioned inconsistent or weaker scents in some cases.
