A new sensory layer for experiential activations. Aeris designs a signature scent for your event and sends every guest home with it — so the moment keeps working long after the last guest leaves.
Experiential and hospitality programs forge a powerful emotional connection on the day — then it fades as guests head home. Imprint the Event adds a mechanism that renews it.
We compose a signature scent built around your event — its mood, its setting, its story. A premium hospitality program, a flagship launch, a high-end retreat: the scent belongs to that moment alone.
Each guest leaves with a hand-poured candle in a custom-branded tin and a card naming the notes and the occasion. A premium gift with recall built in.
Lit at home days or weeks later, the scent reopens the experience — delivering a second emotional impression long after the event has ended.
Your largest investment is the event itself: the room, the hospitality, the talent, the travel, the production. Aeris adds a controlled per-guest layer that carries the emotional connection home.
The signature scent is in the air at the height of the event — and again in your guest's home weeks later. That shared thread is what carries the weight: the people they met, the brand they encountered, and the feeling of the night all attach to that scent. The candle brings them back together, every time it's lit.
The Aeris Clock is a system we built to map scent the way a color wheel maps light. Use it to feel out a direction — then we take it from there.
Choose a lead that complements your event. As you slide it, we'll point you toward the sliders that bridge, contrast, and quietly support it.
Set a lead above — your suggested structure appears here.
Think of this the way a designer thinks of a generated color palette: a fast, intelligent starting point — not the finished work. Our framework can place a mood on the dial and suggest where the notes might fall. But the real composition — balancing a blend so it blooms correctly in a room, holds through an evening, and feels unmistakably yours — is done by hand, by us, drawing on experience the system can't replicate.
The dial gets us talking. The artistry is what you're hiring.

Scent has an unusually direct relationship with emotional memory. A familiar aroma can return a place, a mood, or a moment before conscious effort begins.
Researchers use this profile to describe why odor-cued memories often feel unusually immediate and personal.
Unlike sight or sound, olfactory signals reach the amygdala and hippocampus — the brain's emotion and memory centers — through an unusually direct pathway, with comparatively little intermediate processing.
Herz et al. (2004), Neuropsychologia — read the study →Memories triggered by scent are reported as more emotional, and bring a stronger feeling of being "brought back in time," than the same memories cued by words or images.
Willander & Larsson (2007), Memory & Cognition — read the study →Researchers summarize olfactory memory with the "LOVER" profile — Limbic, Old, Vivid, Emotional, Rare — distinguishing it from memory evoked by our other senses.
Larsson, Willander et al. (2014), Frontiers in Psychology — read the open-access paper →Scent-cued memories tend to reach further back and resurface involuntarily — a familiar aroma can return a place or moment before conscious effort begins.
Willander & Larsson (2006), Psychonomic Bulletin & Review — read the study →A note in good faith: this is an active area of research, and not every study finds the effect to the same degree — the strength of scent-evoked memory can depend on familiarity and context. We link the primary sources rather than summarize them for you, because a scent studio should be able to show its work.
Each candle is poured by hand in Indiana, with controlled batching, consistent labeling, and fulfillment scoped to the event.
