The Westman Hotel Custom Scent Case Study will be sent to you when we receive your inquiry.

It’s scientifically proven that scent affects our moods - but, in fact, it does much more than that.

“The sense of smell plays an important role in the physiological effects of mood, stress, and working capacity.” To this end, designers of shops, hotels, and other commercial interiors have embraced “olfactory branding, “ the use of a unique, mood-boosting scent that guests come to associate with the experience of a brand - specific space.

Client Experience ‘The Westman Hotel’ Custom Scent

“The care taken to create The Westman experience extends to all the senses. When visitors walk into the hotel, they’ll immediately smell the intoxicating scent of cedarwood atlas, sandalwood and oakmoss blended with an oregano tincture. It’s a signature scent created by Bend-based natural perfumer Kristine Ambrose.”

“I wanted to capture the scent of Central Oregon, but I also wanted to include the entire region through the lens of Minnie and the routes she took,” said Ambrose.
