What Scentys does
Scentys, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Saint-Ouen L'Aumône, France, designs and manufactures patented fragrance diffusion systems for both professional and consumer markets. The company operates two core technology platforms: a dry diffusion system built around solid polymer capsules charged with pure perfume concentrate (used in the Odyscent, Prysm, and Capsy devices for spaces up to 35 m²) and a micro-nébulisation system with anti-condensation S'Clean technology for larger spaces up to 200 m² (Stèle, Wall-Fit, Hubble). A connected product layer (ScentysBox Interactive) enables remote programming of scent distribution, and the product ecosystem extends to bundled professional installations (Pack Cosy, Pack Building, Pack Outdoor).
The business model combines one-time hardware sales (€19.90 for capsule kits to €1,980 for large-space units) with recurring consumable revenue from solid capsules (~50-hour lifespan) and liquid fragrance bottles (€118.80-€264), plus a 12-month B2C subscription with 15% discount and SEPA direct debit. Scentys monetizes a custom olfactory branding service for luxury hotels, fine-dining venues, retail, automotive, cultural venues, healthcare, and spirits tourism. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales for B2B projects, e-commerce self-serve for B2C, and presence at industry trade shows (Luxe Pack Monaco). Customer logos span LVMH-affiliated luxury houses (Dior, Guerlain, Hennessy, Diptyque, Jo Malone), fragrance majors (Givaudan, Groupe Coty, Viktor&Rolf), and flagship cultural institutions (Palace of Versailles, Kunsthalle München), with geographic operations concentrated in France but international delivery available for professional clients.
