How Scent Diffusion Transforms The Cruise Ship Experience
The following explores how ambient scent diffusion heightens and enhances the cruise ship experience and provides descriptions of our most notable fragranced products, each of which are designed to transform the casinos, lobbies, lounges, restrooms, spas and other public areas of cruise line interiors into unforgettable olfactory journeys.
Sailing on the high seas in a luxury ocean liner before the age of aviation took hold, was at one time considered to be the epitome of elitist adventure and hedonism.
Often the setting for many romance and mystery novels and movies of the early and middle years of the last century, the cruise industry in modern times has done it best to move with the flow of the times by offering every amenity under the sun, while simultaneously capturing the playful intrigue and gold-dusted memories that always make cruises so very popular.
The idea of traveling on a floating city can be very exciting and sometimes as many as 5,000 people can be on board with you to share all the exciting ports of call.
Selecting the right cruise line means doing one’s vacation homework, as each cruise line offers it own unique features and usually falls into one of four categories; namely, contemporary, premium, luxury and specialty.
Each of these sectors demand their own signature scents that must be clean and uplifting, and in its own unique way, capture the elusive, mysterious and ancient smell of the sea.
What Are The Smells Of The Sea?
Separating the body of water from the organisms that live within it is vital to understanding the smells of the endless ocean.
The salt water alone has no smell at all, but that cannot be said for the many micro-organisms that live within it. Sulfury smells arise from dimethyl sulphide, a chemical produced by the bacteria that feed upon dead phytoplankton. Other smelly compounds that are present only at low tide are dictyopterenes, which are sex pheromones seaweed eggs produce to attract sperms.
There is also the elusive iodine smell of the sea, which is caused by bromophenols, which are chemicals marine worms and algae produce.
Scenting Cruise Lines
Olfactory development in the realm of the transportation experience is sometimes referred to as “scent in motion.” This can relate to air, rail or cruise travel. In order to be effective in this sector, scent must fill four distinct roles.
These are: the masking of malodor; the introduction of branded signature scents; short-term olfactory marketing interventions and last, but far from last, the functional use of scent to memorialize the journey, which epitomizes the shift of focus for cruise travel from final destination and duration of the trip to the journey itself.
Ambient Scent Diffusion and Cruise Ships
In order to be effective, ambient scenting on a cruise line must permeate the entire vessel in varying degrees. It is usually diffused via air conditioning ducts on walkways, and in guest cabins but also in other products.
Small pockets of fragrance are found within laundry products, table linens, bedding, towels, dressing gowns and even in the soap dispensers in bathrooms.
The cruise, as are all vacation venues, are meant to be a respite, an escape from the stress and strains of every day life and there is nothing that can set a mood better on a cruise ship than the right scent in the right place.
Our master perfumers focus on scents that can promise each voyage to be one that that suspends time and elevates mood via cutting edge, one of a kind fragrance refills.
