Frequently Asked Questions
Are the scent formulations safe for use in public retail environments?
Yes. All scent solutions are compliant with the strict safety standards set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) and adhere to all local health regulations for continuous public commercial use.
How is scent deployed across stores without creating an overpowering smell?
We use specialized cold-air diffusion technology, which atomizes the oil into a dry mist. This is precisely managed and often integrated into the HVAC system to ensure a subtle, uniform, and non-overpowering concentration throughout the space.
How do you ensure the chosen scent is consistent across different climates?
While the fragrance formula is constant, our deployment strategy uses centralized monitoring and run-time adjustments to compensate for differences in local climate, ventilation, and air turnover, guaranteeing a consistent perceived scent level in every store.
Does a Custom Scent require significant capital investment upfront?
The Custom Scent process involves a dedicated initial investment for formulation and testing. However, this cost is offset by the long-term value of owning a unique, proprietary sensory asset that drives brand equity and recall across your entire portfolio.
