Create a considered transition from a busy day to time set aside for yourself. We explore scent around the welcome, the waiting ritual and the character of your spa, with care for treatments and personal preferences.
Assess one tabletop AP30 on a stable reception back counter, away from guest seating and tea service. Staff can reach it during their normal arrival routine; confirm clearance and the enclosed reception volume.
Supplier volume estimate, not measured reach in this building. Equipment quantity and settings follow the site review.
White Tea’s soft, fresh direction follows the reception’s tea and natural-material story. Sample it with the spa’s existing products so the shared welcome has a coherent scent before treatments begin.
What the layout tells us
Reception and waiting introduce the retreat before guests move toward their treatments.
Placement approach
Explore an agreed shared-arrival atmosphere separately from the private treatment rooms.
Before we specify
Review guest preferences, existing product scents, shared air and practical service access.
How we would operate it
Agree the trial with the spa team and guest preferences in mind. Start with a restrained reception setting during arrivals, review between appointments and record the nearby products and doors in use.
What we would review in a trial
Look for a comfortable shared welcome, a good fit with existing product aromas and no distracting carryover toward tea service or private treatments.
A shared welcome. Individual choices beyond it.
A planted courtyard separates shared arrival and relaxation from a sequence of treatment and support spaces. The scenting conversation follows that transition, with individual preferences central to private appointments.

Assessment priorities & site questions
Follow the transition from a shared arrival to a private treatment.
A room-by-room brief and a preference handover that fits the way your booking team and therapists already work.
A quieter journey, room by room.
A planted courtyard separates shared arrival and relaxation from a sequence of treatment and support spaces. The scenting conversation follows that transition, with individual preferences central to private appointments. Select a point on the drawing to explore the approach.

X / Concept case study
The arrival ritual has its own atmosphere.
Build a gentle shared welcome around reception. The garden, tea service and private treatment suites each deserve their own conversation.
Compare D1 or D2 for shared reception. These are alternative positions for one device.
The AP30 is a tabletop model with a 300 m³ listed estimate and a 110 mL reservoir. Confirm a stable, suitable counter location before selection.

03 / The placement decision
Reception back counter
On the reception back counter, away from tea service and guest seating. Staff can access the device as part of the arrival routine.
Before installation
Check counter clearance, power, product compatibility and air movement toward the treatment corridor.
Day-to-day operation
If D1 is chosen, have reception check the stable counter position, clear access and agreed setting before the first appointment. Record changes to nearby retail products and garden-door conditions. Keep tea preparation separate, check reservoir status as part of the proposed routine and give staff a simple pause process for guest preferences.
What to review during the trial
Compare the first arrival impression, waiting seats and treatment-corridor approach between appointments. Ask the spa team whether White Tea sits comfortably alongside products in use and whether it becomes too prominent during longer waits. Record reception scent noticed in private rooms, and compare this option with D2 separately if needed.
Keep the scope intentional
Private treatments follow individual guest preferences. The courtyard, tea lounge and changing rooms are not automatically included.
The service continues after placement.
Review the arrival with the spa team between appointments, considering guest feedback and the scents already used in treatments.
Shape the reception and waiting ritual with a gentle, considered brief.
Private appointmentsPersonal choice
Discuss treatment-room preferences separately for each guest and service.
Practical boundariesAir & access
Recognise the courtyard, wet areas, changing rooms and staff operations.
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.
Your floor plan is the starting point. The site visit makes the proposal specific.
Imagined setting featuring X AP30 . Model and placement depend on assessment.
A quiet detail in the ritual.
A waiting lounge invites a different approach from a treatment room. We consider the products already in use, the person’s proximity to the diffuser and whether a neutral area is preferred.
The spa strategy / A preference, not an assumption
Twenty appointments. Twenty individual welcomes.
Your atmosphere begins in reception, but the treatment experience is personal. A simple preference record makes the handover between booking and therapist more thoughtful.

A deliberate transition
Shared arrival atmosphere
→
Personal treatment preference
Review treatment products and room connections. Marking a room “no added ambient scent” does not guarantee it is fragrance-free, and switching a diffuser off does not establish a clearance time.
The feeling, before the fragrance.
Explore atmosphere for reception and agreed shared areas, then consider treatment products and individual guest preferences separately. Fragrance is a sensory choice, not a promised treatment outcome.

02
Build in the preference conversation
Agree a simple booking or arrival prompt and how the team records the response. An unrecorded preference is a conversation to have, not consent.
03
Separate arrival from treatment
Develop a shared-area atmosphere only where appropriate. Treatment-room decisions follow the guest conversation and the spa’s own operating practice.
04
Give the team a usable handover
Set out agreed responsibilities and the response to a preference change. Do not assume switching off a diffuser immediately removes fragrance from a room.
What you may be wondering.
Is this aromatherapy or a treatment?
These proposals concern ambient fragrance and the experience of the space. They do not offer a medical or therapeutic outcome and do not replace a practitioner’s treatment decisions.
Can treatment rooms stay unscented?
Yes. Discuss the rooms you want to keep neutral, your treatment products and guest preferences so the proposed zones are clear from the start.
Can we experience a scent before choosing?
We can discuss a fragrance shortlist and the available sampling or trial options. The format, availability and terms are confirmed with the 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.
