Coverage
500–2,000 sqft (multi-unit for whole-house)
Considerations
- Deploy 2–3 units throughout the home, not one at the door
- Run 30 minutes before each showing, off during
- Vanilla/cookie scents test best for emotional connection in staging
Common Questions
What scent is most effective for an open house?
Warm gourmand profiles (vanilla, fresh-baked, soft sweet) consistently outperform florals and citrus for emotional purchase response in staging tests.
How many units to scent a whole 3,000 sqft home?
Three units: entryway/foyer, kitchen, primary bedroom. Skip bathrooms and secondary bedrooms — diminishing return.
Can I run this just for showings without leaving it onsite?
Yes. The device is portable and battery-powered. Many stagers rotate one set of devices across multiple listings.
