Scent in Architecture

In architectural and interior design, the concept of space encompasses more than just visual and functional elements; it also includes the vital role of scent. Each environment possesses a unique olfactory identity, and a meticulously crafted scent becomes an integral part of its narrative, leaving a lasting impression on those who inhabit or visit it.

Our philosophy begins with the understanding that different spaces—whether commercial, residential, or retail—have distinct characteristics and purposes. We believe that the scent must align with these attributes to enhance the overall experience. Additionally, we consider the personal and contextual aspects of scent design, taking into account the people who will use the space, the types of materials and plants present, and broader environmental influences. This tailored approach ensures that the scent harmonizes with existing elements, creating a cohesive and immersive atmosphere.

The profound impact of scent on memory and perception, often referred to as the Proustian effect, illustrates how certain smells can evoke vivid memories and emotions. By thoughtfully designing the scent of a space, we create a sensory signature that enriches the immediate experience and fosters a lasting connection to the environment. This is why we emphasize enhancing the experience of each space and creating memorable, meaningful environments that linger long after one has left.
