The moment guests step into a luxury hotel, they are often enveloped by a unique fragrance that sets the tone for their stay. This is no accident—it’s a carefully crafted strategy by hoteliers who understand the power of scent. Here are the reasons why personalized scented candles are increasingly popular in high-end hotel services.

The Science of Olfactory Memory
Our sense of smell is directly connected to the brain’s memory and emotional centers. Research shows that even a year later, people retain 65% of the accuracy in recalling scents, compared to only 30% for visual memory. This makes fragrance a powerful tool for building lasting brand impressions.
Unlike automatic diffusers, scented candles offer a dual appeal to both the eyes and the nose. Warm light instantly creates a cozy atmosphere, while fragrance helps to:
– Enhance guest satisfaction
– Encourage guests to share on social media through beautiful photo opportunities

While ready-made candles may seem convenient, customized fragrances offer significant advantages:
– Unique scents that competitors cannot replicate
– Perfect fragrance concentration for different areas of the hotel
– Packaging that aligns with the brand image, enhancing the guest experience
Hotels using bespoke candles gain several advantages:
– Increased revenue through retail
– Enhanced brand awareness and guest loyalty
– Improved ambiance in the lobby, suites, and spa
– Gain a differentiated advantage in a competitive market
