The Escents

essence + scent

Our digital scent devices seamlessly integrate into any immersive set-up via Bluetooth.

The scents can be added to 360° films, interactive environments or real-world experiences.

Low-latency scent release and instant switching between fragrances. The scent release is silent and does not interfere with the user experience, while the ergonomic design makes the Escents virtually unnoticeable when worn.

Patented scent pod system with specific scents that recreate the real world or create entirely new worlds. 

Full scent intensity control and individual user calibration based on personal sensitivity.

Scentient smart pods are magnetically inserted into the Escents and automatically detected and recognised by the device.

All 6 pods would last up to 50 hours of use in an experience. The user will be notified when a pod is running low by a continuously flashing a light next to it.

Switching the pods takes seconds and the Escents is ready to take the next user on the scent journey.
