Scenting for business. Fragrance for home. Discuss your premises

A considered welcome.
A comfortable workplace.

Start with the spaces where visitors arrive and teams come together. We help you explore a restrained scenting approach that respects the people who use your workplace every day.

If policy and occupant consultation support a trial, assess one wall-mounted AP10 at the reception perimeter. Its compact format preserves visitor space and keeps the installation focused on a defined arrival area.

White Tea Garden’s lemon, leafy opening and tea heart give the planted reception a coherent direction to sample. Fragrance selection follows workplace agreement; it does not establish suitability for every occupant.

What the layout tells us
Visitor reception introduces the workplace before the shared working areas.
Placement approach
If policy and consultation allow, begin with a limited reception proposal and an agreed route for feedback.
Before we specify
Check HR and facilities policy, individual preferences, enclosure and the reception air connections.
How we would operate it
Agree limited reception trial hours, a named person who can stop the device and a private feedback route. Record the initial setting and review reception alongside its connections to working areas.
What we would review in a trial
Assess visitor and reception-staff comfort, any reported individual concerns and whether the agreed boundary holds. Pause and review when concerns arise before considering any extension.

Start with the people. Be precise about the place.

This office brings together a visitor reception, desk neighbourhoods, meeting rooms, focus booths and a pantry. Our starting point is workplace policy and the people using those spaces every day.

X / Concept case study

A considered welcome starts with agreement.

The starting point is the workplace fragrance policy and the people who use reception. If a trial is agreed, compare two positions for one arrival-area device.

Compare D1 or D2 for one reception trial. These are alternative installations.

03 / The placement decision
Reception-side wall

A reception perimeter position keeps equipment away from visitor seating and the desk wings. The scenting brief stays focused on the welcome.

Before installation

Confirm policy, occupant concerns, measured reception volume, power and air connections to work areas.

Day-to-day operation

After a reception trial is agreed, let facilities name the setting owner and explain the pause process to reception staff. Check the selected device at the start of the working day, log its setting and collect later-shift comments. Trial D1 on its own; any comparison with D2 should replace this candidate, not add another active device.

What to review during the trial

Compare the visitor seats, reception desk and nearest work-wing entrances. Collect voluntary comments at different points in the day, including requests for no fragrance. Review whether the reception setting remains comfortable for staff throughout their shift and whether scent is noticeable in excluded work areas before considering continued use.

Keep the scope intentional

Workstations, meeting rooms and the pantry are outside the initial proposal. No added scent is the starting point until a trial is agreed.

The service continues after placement.

Agree who can pause the trial, collect reception and staff feedback, and review before extending any scope.

About this concept

An original furnished plan concept, viewed directly from above. It illustrates the relationships between spaces and possible assessment priorities. It is not a measured or construction drawing; furniture, partitions and circulation are indicative. Floor area, ceiling height, ventilation, access and equipment placement must be established from your actual plan and site visit.

An original furnished plan concept, not a measured drawing or customer installation. Your plan and site assessment shape the final proposal.

How we would review the experience

Consultation participation, unresolved questions and how concerns will be addressed. A no-added-fragrance outcome remains available.

Agree the scope, responsible contact and route for adjustments before handover.

The workplace strategy / Policy, people, then place

The most useful data starts with your people.

A workplace is occupied for hours, not moments. Establish whether added scent is appropriate before deciding where a diffuser might go.

Consultation planning example

Who has had a chance to be heard?

48 responded32 yet to respond

Example counts only. A response rate measures participation, not approval. Individual concerns still need a private, appropriate route for review.

The first decision

What does your policy say?

Start with HR and facilities.

Confirm policy, invite preferences and concerns, and review air connections before deciding whether any limited area is appropriate.

This tool does not collect staff responses or personal information. Changing the example does not approve a workplace scenting scheme.

A conversation with three different perspectives.

Facilities

Connected air systems, visitor routes and maintenance access.

HR & management

Existing policy, accessible consultation and a confidential feedback route.

People using the space

Preferences, concerns and the option to request no added fragrance.

Discreet equipment. Considered boundaries.

The best position is not simply an empty wall. We review occupied desks, service access and connected rooms so the intended welcome stays aligned with your workplace brief.

Inside our space assessment

A workplace brief starts with listening.

Facilities, HR and the people who use the space need a common decision process. An unscented approach can be the right outcome.

Discuss your workplace policy
  1. 01

    Check the existing policy

    Start with HR and facilities requirements, including any scent-free policy. Resolve whether added ambient fragrance is appropriate before proposing equipment.

  2. 02

    Invite a private conversation

    Offer an accessible way to share preferences and concerns. Review individual needs through the organisation’s own process; a majority preference does not settle the decision.

  3. 03

    Define any agreed scope

    If appropriate, discuss a limited area and its air connections. An area marked neutral on a plan does not prove fragrance cannot reach it.

  4. 04

    Keep a route for adjustment

    Agree who receives feedback, how changes are made and when to pause or stop. Review the arrangement as occupancy, team needs or building systems change.

The feeling,
before the fragrance.

Fragrance exploration follows policy and occupant consultation. If appropriate, consider a limited shared arrival area. Personal workstations and meeting rooms are not automatically included.

What you may
be wondering.

Do you recommend scenting every office?

No. We discuss the people, ventilation and spaces involved. A limited reception proposal, neutral work areas or no added fragrance in a particular room may be the appropriate outcome.

Can staff give feedback?

Yes. Agreeing a feedback contact and adjustment process is a useful part of the brief. Tell us about existing workplace policies and preferences during the first conversation.

Does this replace ventilation or cleaning?

No. Scenting is an atmosphere choice. Ventilation, cleaning and any source of unwanted odour need to be managed separately by the premises team.

Let’s look at
your space.

Bring your floor plan if you have one. Your location, approximate area and the spaces you want to scent are enough to start the conversation.
