Scent consultation
Scent consultation for businesses and brands
A scent consultation helps businesses decide which fragrance, diffusion method or product direction fits their needs.
Nose & Partners discusses the space or product, its users and the intended application before recommending the next steps.
What happens during a scent consultation?
A scent consultation starts with a brief covering the business, audience and intended use. We review whether a library fragrance, a new composition or a diffusion solution is appropriate.
Two or three fragrance directions, drawn from real compositions you can smell. We send samples after the session.
A short written brief with the direction, the rationale and a rollout sketch. Hardware and logistics come later if you decide to move forward.
How a scent consultation runs.
1. Pre-call
Thirty minutes. We learn the brand, the space, and what you have already tried.
2. Session
Two hours with a senior perfumer. We smell, talk, react, refine.
3. Direction
We send a written direction with reference compositions and visual references.
4. Samples
We ship physical samples for in-space evaluation. You decide if and how to roll out.
When scent consultation pays off most.
Some moments deserve a consultation before any other step.
If you decide to move forward.
Most consultation clients move on to a scent marketing programme on our scent diffuser. The first session does not commit you to anything.
Scent consultation questions.
Who runs the consultation?
+
A senior perfumer from our team. Not a sales person. The same person who would compose your scent if you go ahead.
Is the scent consultation free?
+
The pre-call is free. The two-hour session is paid and credited against any future programme with us.
Do you travel for the consultation?
+
Yes. Across Benelux as standard, the rest of Europe on request. We also run consultations remotely with a sample kit shipped ahead.
What do I get at the end?
+
A written scent direction, two or three composition references, a sketch of diffusion strategy, and a sample kit.
How long until I have an actual scent in my space?
+
From consultation to install, six to ten weeks for an existing composition, ten to fourteen for a bespoke one.
Can the consultation be remote?
+
Yes. We send a sample kit ahead and run the session by video. Most clients prefer in-person, but remote works.
