You probably don’t notice the smell of your own home, your own laundry detergent, or even your pets. After all, you experience those scents every single day. But what happens when you don’t notice the smell of your own business or workplace? We’ve all experienced walking into a gym and smelling sweat or walking into an assisted living facility and smelling sanitizer and cleaning supplies. From retail stores to gyms to assisted living facilities, every business has a unique scent that customers notice when they walk in — but you might not even be noticing this smell. With the integration of a scent monitoring system, businesses can gain valuable insights into their olfactory environment, ensuring that their spaces consistently offer pleasant and inviting aromas to visitors.
What Is Olfactory Fatigue?
After smelling an odor for an extended period of time, our brains will become accustomed to the smell and we will no longer notice it. The term “olfactory fatigue” (or “nose blindness”) refers to this tendency to become accustomed to the smells around us. After noticing a new scent, our receptors register the scent as non-threatening, disregard it and look for new scents in as quickly as two breaths. Even the most delicious or foul-smelling odor will eventually fail to become noticeable if we are exposed to it for long enough.
Olfactory fatigue can have a significant negative impact on your business. While you and your employees may have become accustomed to the scent of your facility, customers have not, and they will still notice the scent immediately. Should you be concerned about the performance of your scent, it is important to consider olfactory fatigue before increasing the intensity of your scent. Managing your scent effectively and consistently is a great low-cost, high-impact solution to give your customers a great experience.
