In this episode, Luigi and Ravi explore the power of scent as a design tool. Smell has the ability to recall memories, spark emotions, influence mating decisions, and even impact brand perception. They delve into the science behind smell and the brain, how aroma can enhance a brand's image, and the process of physically designing scents. Additionally, they discuss examples such as Hyatt Place, which has been using a signature scent to enhance brand perceptions and increase brand memorability for guests.
