Scent marketing

Smell is the most neglected of all our senses, and yet it is the one that best expresses the intuitive, empirical and poetic dimensions. It is a major ingredient, directly linked to our memory which directly affects our emotions.

In the hyper-visual, digitalized world in which we live, the olfactory sense allows us to reconnect with reality and our environment, but also to improve brand recognition.
Scent marketing has many benefits that can help improve the customer experience, increase sales and build customer loyalty.

Loyalty

As part of an olfactory marketing strategy, three points of contact with a fragrance in a place are enough to identify and inscribe the fragrance in the customer's mind.

In the hotel world , these are check-in, check-out and the bathroom with personalized cosmetic products for example.

It has been verified that the olfactory experience memorized by the customer promotes greater interactivity and reinforces the emotional connection he will have with the brand or place.

Capture

The intrigue generated by the implementation of an olfactory device frequently leads non-loyal consumers to become interested in the brand. Capturing new customers is a priority for brands today. For the faithful, this new comfort zone facilitates a longer stay in the catchment area and, as a result, encourages the act of purchasing.

Through olfactory marketing, smells can therefore influence behaviors in both meaningful and subtle ways.

emotions

Differentiation

Olfactory marketing offers a new opportunity to differentiate yourself and strengthen your unique image. To create emotional olfactory signatures, we delve into the subjective experience of emotional potential, that of a memory evoked by an odor. Once the trails have been deployed, only memory continues the olfactory dream.

Our goal: to listen to you in order to design together your “Madeleine” by Proust.

Valuation

Through a fragrance, the scented object offers added value. Brand valorization, particularly for a hotel which will thus stand out from its competitors through this olfactory atmosphere to which is added financial valorization through the sale of additional scented products (candle, room spray or cosmetics).

By associating a personalized perfume with a brand, it can strengthen its notoriety and recognition beyond the purely visual dimension. Olfactory marketing therefore allows for real brand differentiation.

our memory

Men are capable of recognizing a thousand billion different smells. (Study by Andreas Keller et al. Science 2014, 343, 1370).

The objective of the olfactory marketing strategy is to understand your positioning, anticipate your olfactory strategy and its influence, and transcribe as best as possible the the image that you want to disseminate.

Bringing this “invisible” and essential dimension is our challenge.

The design of a brand, a company or its product, must be today visual, audible but also olfactory. “Sensorialization” through olfactory has today become essential, a key marketing element.

Are you looking for a new way to create a meaningful connection with your clients? Scent marketing is a discreet and effective solution. In a hotel, spa or boutique, it cannot be seen, but it is instantly felt.

At Odore Scola, a perfume house based in Montpellier, we design tailor-made olfactory experiences for professionals. With a suitable diffuser and a selection of fragrances designed for your spaces, we help transform a simple welcome into a lasting memory.

What is scent marketing and what does it involve?

Scent marketing consists of using fragrance as a communication tool. Its purpose? To evoke emotion and anchor a brand within the sensory memory of clients.

The sense of smell is the one most strongly connected to memories. Just a few notes are enough to recall an atmosphere, a stay or a lived moment. Thanks to professional solutions (nebulization or ventilation diffusers), it is now possible to control scheduling, intensity and coverage area of the diffusion.

A connected system even allows autonomous control, ensuring consistent efficiency and simplified maintenance.

How does scent marketing influence behavior?

Sensory marketing uses multiple channels, but scent remains the most memorable.

Hearing

Soft music influences the ambiance and the perception of the space.

Touch

Materials used (linens, furniture, packaging) contribute to the overall experience.

Smell

Fragrance leaves an invisible and lasting impression.

Sight

Lighting and colors enhance the place and its atmosphere.

Taste

In hospitality or food environments, it completes the sensory journey.

Scent marketing therefore works in synergy with the other senses, yet remains the most intangible and emotional element.

Which brands use scent marketing?

Many prestigious brands in hospitality, luxury and retail have embraced scent marketing. Some even develop their own bespoke olfactory signature to reflect their unique DNA.
