sensory appeal
Attracts the senses
Sensory appeal is the quality of attracting or engaging the senses—sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch.
The phrase appears often in discussions of food, design, and marketing: The dish had strong sensory appeal with its bright colors and fragrant herbs.
Something with sensory appeal pleases on a visceral, immediate level rather than through intellectual consideration.
