Boutique Retail Scenting Singapore — Help Shoppers Linger from S$80/Month

In Dr Alan Hirsch’s well-known experiment using identical pairs of Nike trainers, 84% of participants favoured the pair displayed in a floral-scented room over the pair in an unscented room. Samsung’s showrooms use a honeydew-melon signature scent, and the perfumer who helped create it reported that customers spend 20–30% more time with the products when it is present. In a supermarket field study, shoppers spent around 30% more time in store when a melon scent was diffused at higher intensity (Leenders et al., 2019). For a boutique retailer the maths is simple: if scenting lifted average basket size by even a few percent across 200 transactions a month, it could cover the subscription cost several times over.
