Scents & sensibility
Ever keen to sniff out a good story, Eye was intrigued by exclusive London office provider Argyll’s latest tie-up this week.
The firm can clearly stretch to a bit more than the usual logo on a pen for brand awareness, having teamed up with British perfumer to the stars Azzi Glasser to launch a bespoke branded scent.
Argyll commissioned Glasser to capture its essence – “modern, classic offices with a boutique, residential feel” – to help users of its 30-strong portfolio of prime London offices know they have entered an Argyll property as soon as they step through the door and get a whiff of the aroma.
Anyone entering an Argyll building will be greeted by a smell featuring “earthy tones” with “notes of laurel, vetivert and cedar”.
