SCENT LOGO FOR BUSINESS
A tool for building an emotional connection with a brand
A brand can be recognized by its color, typography, distinctive shape, or sound. A scent logo expands its identity with another dimension – scent, which can build brand associations even when the recipient does not see its name or logo.
At Solamé, we create and select custom scents for brands, translating their DNA, values, personality, and desired emotions into the language of fragrance composition.
The result is a Signature Scent – a distinctive olfactory code that can be consistently used in spaces, products, packaging, promotional materials, during events, and at other brand touchpoints.

WHAT IS A SCENT LOGO?
The olfactory equivalent of visual identity
A scent logo, also referred to as a Signature Scent or company fragrance, is a composition selected or created to represent a specific brand
It is not a random aroma or a fragrance chosen solely based on personal preferences
Just as visual identity defines how a brand looks, olfactory identity builds its recognition through the sense of smell
A well-designed scent logo can become a repeatable element of the brand experience – present in various places, products, and situations, but always communicating the same olfactory identity

THREE PATHS TO A BRAND SCENT LOGO
From scent selection to a custom composition created from scratch.
A scent logo can be created at different levels of customization. At Solamé, we work across three models tailored to the brand's needs, ambitions, and project scope. We can select an appropriate composition from our curated library, conduct an in-depth selection process involving a perfumer, or create a fully custom Signature Scent from scratch. Regardless of the chosen path, the starting point remains the brand identity as well as the emotions and associations that the scent is intended to build in contact with the recipient.
Signature selection
Selection of a fragrance from the Solamé curated library
Based on the brand's DNA, personality, and positioning, we determine the olfactory direction and select the compositions that best reflect its character.
Scope: scent brief · brand analysis · composition selection · testing · Signature Scent · storytelling
Signature Curation
Advanced scent selection in collaboration with a perfumer + fragrance brandbook
We create an in-depth olfactory brief, based on which, together with a perfumer, we select and evaluate compositions. The chosen fragrance receives its own concept and a brand application system.
Scope: olfactory brief · perfumer consultation · selection & testing · Signature Scent · storytelling · Scent Identity Book
Bespoke Signature Scent
A custom composition created exclusively for the brand
A perfumer designs the scent from scratch based on the brand's DNA and the brief developed by Solamé. Subsequent variants are tested and refined until the final composition is created.
Scope: strategic brief · perfumer creation · variants and modifications · custom Signature Scent · storytelling · expanded Scent Identity Book
BEFORE THE FIRST SAMPLE IS CREATED
What can actually be encoded in a brand's scent?
Personality
Minimalistic or expressive? Expert or sensual? Avant-garde or timeless? The brand's character becomes the starting point for building the composition's profile.
Emotions
Peace, energy, comfort, curiosity, prestige, or a sense of closeness. We define not only the composition's ingredients and scent impression, but also the reaction it is meant to support.
Brand World
Materials, colors, architecture, product, visual language, or cultural context can provide cues for creating a cohesive olfactory direction.

FAQ
Scent logo in questions and answers
What is a brand scent logo?
A scent logo, also called a Signature Scent, is a distinctive fragrance composition selected or created to reflect a brand's identity. Just like color, typography, communication language, or audio branding, it can become one of its recognizable codes. Its role is not merely to create a pleasant aroma, but to build specific emotions, associations, and a cohesive brand experience.
Does a signature scent have to be created from scratch?
No. The level of customization depends on the brand's needs. At Solamé, a scent logo can be created through selecting a composition from a curated library, an in-depth selection involving a perfumer, or creating a completely custom composition from scratch. In every option, the starting point is the brand – its character, positioning, as well as the emotions and associations it aims to build.
How do you know that the chosen scent actually fits the brand?
We do not evaluate compositions solely by the "like / dislike" criterion. We analyze its alignment with the brand's DNA, emotional character, associations built, distinctiveness, and possibilities for further application. A signature scent should be attractive to the recipient, but above all, it must consistently fulfill the assumptions set for the brand.
How does a scent logo differ from scent marketing?
A scent logo answers the question "how should this specific brand smell?", whereas scent marketing concerns the method of using the fragrance in a specific location or experience. A Signature Scent can therefore serve as the foundation for scent marketing, but its application is much broader – the same fragrance code can be developed in spaces, products, packaging, printed materials, during events, or in gifting.
How is brand DNA translated into a scent?
The process starts not with selecting specific notes, but with understanding the brand. We analyze, among other things, its personality, values, positioning, target audience, visual language, and desired emotions and associations. On this basis, the olfactory direction is defined, which we then translate into fragrance families, chords, structure, and character of the composition. As a result, the fragrance decision is not based solely on personal taste.
What happens after creating a scent logo?
The ready Signature Scent becomes the starting point for designing further sensory experiences. Depending on the needs, it can be used, among others, in space scenting, candles, diffusers, mists, printed materials, packaging, e-commerce shipments, gifting, or during events. For more extensive projects, the rules of fragrance usage can also be organized in a Scent Identity Book, which serves as a guide to the brand's fragrance identity.

Who We Work With
About Us
Solamé specializes in creating scent logos for companies and brands that want to expand their identity into the olfactory dimension. We combine knowledge of branding, experience design, and fragrance to create compositions rooted in the brand's DNA, personality, values, and positioning. We define the emotions and associations the fragrance should build, as well as how it can become a distinctive sensory code for the brand.
A scent logo, also known as a Signature Scent, is not a randomly chosen aroma. It is a consciously selected or designed composition that can function alongside visual identity, brand language, or sound branding. At Solamé, we create them at various levels of customization: from expert scent selection from a curated library, through an advanced process involving a perfumer, to a custom composition created from scratch for a specific brand.
We begin the process of creating a scent logo with the brand, not fragrance notes. We analyze its character, target audience, market context, aesthetics, and the emotions it wishes to evoke. Based on this, we define the olfactory direction and translate abstract brand traits into the language of scent. Thanks to this, the final composition has its strategic justification and can consistently support building a specific audience experience.
A finished signature scent can become the foundation of an entire scent branding system and be developed across further brand touchpoints: spaces, scented products, packaging, printed materials, e-commerce, events, or corporate gifting. In more extensive projects, we organize the rules of its application in a Scent Identity Book, creating a cohesive standard for future implementations and the further development of the brand's fragrance identity.
