For brands

Your fragrance, on skin, in the right rooms


Smell Descent puts fragrance in front of people at the moment they're getting ready to go back out: in the washrooms and lounges of London's best bars, clubs, hotels and restaurants. Feature your scent on our units and see exactly how often it's chosen.

Why it works

The right person, place and moment

Most sampling hands out a card strip to someone in a hurry. Ours happens when someone has stopped, looked in the mirror and decided to smell good.

The momentChosen, not handed out

Guests pick your scent themselves and wear it out for the evening, where other people notice it.

The roomPremium venues only

Your bottle sits lit behind glass in curated venues, beside other designer and niche houses.

The proofEvery spray counted

Each unit logs every spray, so you see what your placement actually did.

Placement options

Three ways to feature

Every placement is built around your goals. Prices on request.

Format one

Featured scent

One of the five slots on our units for an agreed period, with your bottle on show in the lit window and on the touchscreen.

Format two

Sponsored sampling

You cover the cost of the spray, so guests try your scent for free. It's the fastest way to get it on as many people as possible.

Format three

Launch takeover

Your campaign on the welcome screen across our units, timed to a launch, alongside a featured slot on the wall.

On the screen

Your campaign, between every spray

The touchscreen shows a welcome screen whenever the unit isn't in use. During a placement it can carry your still or video campaign, in full HD.
