Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ)
Scent marketing is the strategic use of aroma to influence customer emotions and behavior. It is a powerful tool used to enhance a brand's identity, create memorable experiences, and establish a deeper, non-visual connection with consumers.
The model operates on the principle of sensory branding:
• Brand Alignment: Developing a unique fragrance that perfectly reflects a brand's identity and values (the Scent Logo).
• Strategic Diffusion: Using advanced systems to consistently and evenly spread the scent in a targeted environment.
• Emotional Connection: The scent triggers positive emotions and memories, driving brand recall and influencing behavior (e.g., encouraging longer stays).
Fragrance marketing is essentially synonymous with scent marketing. It is the umbrella term for any activity that uses fragrance, be it ambient scenting in a store or a signature perfume product, to promote or define a brand.
It works because the sense of smell is directly linked to the brain's limbic system, which governs memory and emotion. By using a proprietary scent, a business bypasses conscious thought to create an immediate, deep, and lasting emotional association between the aroma and the brand experience.
The benefits are measurable and significant:
• Boosted Sales: Customers spend more time and money in pleasant, scented environments.
• Enhanced Brand Perception: Scent creates a luxury, quality feel.
• Increased Brand Recall: It makes a brand up to three times more memorable than visual branding alone.
• Improved Customer Mood: Positive aromas increase customer satisfaction and staff morale.
A classic example is the hotel industry. Many luxury chains use a signature scent diffused throughout their lobbies and common areas. Customers instantly recognize the brand whenever they encounter that specific fragrance, anywhere in the world, creating a powerful sense of familiarity and luxury.
There is no single universal "buy more" scent, as effectiveness depends on the brand context. However, simple, comforting scents often perform best. Studies have shown that simple aromas like vanilla, citrus, or green tea can be more effective than complex scents because they are processed faster and reduce cognitive load, leading to quicker purchasing decisions.
The best way to start is to first define your goal, then consult with experts:
• Define Your Goal: Are you creating a product line (retail) or creating an ambience (environment)?
• Consult a Scent Designer: Experts can help you translate your brand values (e.g., trust, luxury, innovation) into a signature, proprietary scent.
• Implement Strategically: For ambient scenting, choose the right diffuser system and strategic placement for maximum impact.
