What Is Scent Branding?

The strategic use of an exclusive scent that reflects your brand, forging a unique and recognisable olfactory identity. Why would you want to smell the same as the competition?

Create unforgettable brand moments through the power of scent


At Equal Strategy, we craft immersive environments where your brand is not just seen or heard — it’s felt. Scent branding is one of the most powerful, yet underutilized tools in creating memorable and emotionally resonant customer experiences

Why Scent Matters


The sense of smell is the only sense directly connected to the limbic system — the part of the brain responsible for memory and emotion. A custom fragrance becomes more than just a pleasant aroma; it becomes a signature, silently telling your brand’s story and forming lasting impressions in the minds of your customers.

  • 75% of emotions are triggered by smell.
  • 65% of consumers can recall a scent with precision after one year.
  • 59% of shoppers spend more time in pleasantly scented environments.

Your Signature Fragrance

We work closely with you to translate your brand’s values and personality into a unique olfactory experience. Whether your brand is calming, energetic, luxurious, or youthful — we’ll develop a scent that mirrors it perfectly.

Our perfume-grade fragrance oils are custom blended in France and are IFRA-compliant, ensuring safety, quality, and performance.

Strategic Scent Placement

We integrate scent at high-impact customer touchpoints:

  • Hotel lobbies and guest floors
  • Corporate offices and client centers
  • Retail showrooms and boutiques
  • Spas and wellness spaces
  • High-traffic event and exhibition venues
  • Car diffusers
  • Branded gift sets
  • Scented collateral

By aligning scent with your interior design, sound, and customer journey, we create a fully immersive, emotionally driven brand experience.
