#12 - From Kings to Athletes: Palaces & Gyms in a Fragrance Comparison
What do royal palaces and modern gyms have in common? More than you might think.
In this episode of Scent Marketing Talk, Kessi and Jens discuss how scent has been used strategically in the past—as a symbol of power, status, and atmosphere. From incense in palaces to the exclusive fragrance worlds of historical rulers.
In the second part, we head to the gym: Why the right scent can boost motivation, improve the feeling of hygiene, and even influence performance.
An episode about two completely different worlds—connected by a factor you can't see, but immediately feel: scent.
