The problem with hospitality scent
The global hospitality industry has embraced scent as a brand tool and then promptly surrendered is potential to conformity. The same clean linen diffusions circulate through lobbies from Singapore to Stockholm , creating a paradox, an industry that sells uniqueness has outsourced its most intimate sensory communication to a generic palette.
” A well deployed scent is the most memorable amenity a hotel can offer . Generic scent is the olfactory equivalent of stock photography “
