Google States "Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. Writers employ the five senses to engage a reader's interest. ... When sensory details are used, your readers can personally experience whatever you're trying to describe, reminding them of their own experiences, giving your writing a universal feel." Hopefully this Helps!
