If you walk into any modern, high-end office you can expect to see a strategic ambiance constructed with open office plans and vibrant color schemes. A stark contrast to traditional office spaces, these changes are designed to encourage better communications and community, as well as stimulate your mind and enthusiasm for your work. The ultimate goal of these ambiance adaptions is twofold; make your workplace more comfortable for you, and make you more productive for your workplace.

But strikingly, most offices cater to sight, sound, and touch yet they neglect our most primal sense; smell. Many studies indicate smell may be our strongest sense. Certain scents are tied to our memory and can even influence our current mental state. The aromas that emerge from your office are powerful, why leave it up to chance? With current technologies and expertise, unique scents can be specially designed to enhance your workplace.

A welcoming scent can greet anyone entering your office. A comfortable, inviting workplace appeals not only to employees, but guests and potential partners too. Research indicates a pleasant scent fosters a pleasant state of mind. This can help visitors form a good first impression and associate your office with a feeling of belonging and friendliness.

Some scents are also documented to enhance productivity, concentration, and brain function. In one study, a scent decreased workplace errors by 54% while in another study over 50% of students treated with aromatherapy indicated they felt more relaxed. Its clear the effects of curated scents and aromas go far beyond sensations, they have applicable and measurable effects on your behavior.
