The addition of personalized scent is not limited to luxury hotels, fashion retail flagships and spas. Scent marketing and olfactory branding field entered also in the luxury aesthetic surgery clinics and health care facilities to enhance patient experience and to lead the individual to perceive positively his or her experience. Ambient Scents can improve the Clinic sensory experience, gilding the “doctor’s fragrance” and put the patients at ease.
There are various studies which have introduced sensory factors into health care situations. Health care service is high in contact, the physical environment and the way in which operations are conducted by staff are essential to create a specific image of the institute and to develop the experience of the patient.
Atmospherics are found to influence the behaviour of both clients and employees. Much of the research has presumed a mediating effect of mood on clients’ cognition and behaviour. The manipulation of atmospherics cues can be constructed as an attempt at communicating a particular message to customers. Transferring this information to the medical context, the quality of the service encounter is affected by the quality of the medical care received from physicians and nurses, the individual patient-physician relationship, and the physical environment. Cues that allow patients to assess the quality of the medical service include: a rational organization of the spaces; an easy orientation to the living arrangement; cleanliness; temperature; noise; and the SMELL.
Several researches provide empirical evidence indicating the effectiveness of using ambient scents in a medical environment to enhance the experience and to create relaxing and stimulating scent environments.
