Morphology
Given 'sensorium' (the sensory-processing apparatus) and 'flavor' (taste/smell), a learner who knows both can compose them to mean the sensory experience or collection of flavor sensations. The structure 'sensorium of X' is a straightforward noun-of-noun composition rather than an idiom, so the intended meaning is directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Sensorium of flavors gives the image of a place where many tastes reach you at once, with sensorium meaning a 'place of the senses' and flavors meaning 'tastes'. So it describes a vivid, intense mix of taste sensations all felt together.
