There’s always something special about the scent of luxury hotels. Many hotel brands are bottling signature scents, making them available to visitors via fragrances, candles and diffusers.
It’s widely recognized that scent is one of the most powerful senses when it comes to our emotions. That’s why some scents feel so comforting, and others have the ability to evoke powerful memories and to transport you back in time to happy times. When you walk into a fancy hotel and take a breath one of their fignature fragnances, you instantly link that scent to the hotel. Fragrances can not only link the scent to the location, but also tie together the scent with all the memories associated with your time at a five-star hotel.
