Scenteq — scenting spaces
Co-working space scenting: a warm shared lounge with yellow armchairs, plants and pendant lighting

Coworking scenting

Coworking scenting: A shared space members want to come back to.

Scenting for co-working spaces, shared office spaces, serviced offices and business centres — built around hot-desking, daily footfall, member tours and renewals.

The challenge

The experience challenge in shared workspaces

Co-working is a membership business. Members compare you with the café down the road and the operator two streets over, and they decide every month whether to renew. How the space feels matters as much as the Wi-Fi.

Shared office spaces work hard. Hot-desking floors, kitchens, phone booths, meeting rooms and busy lounges build up odours through the day, and a space that smells tired by mid-afternoon undoes an expensive fit-out.

Tours decide sales. A prospective member forms a view in the first minute at reception, long before they see the desk pricing.

Systems

Recommended solutions

Standalone scenting

Aroma Ultra units for receptions, lounges, hot-desking floors and serviced office suites. Freestanding or wall-mounted, no ducting, and each one covers up to 500 m².

HVAC and AHU scenting

Aircent units connect to your air handling to scent a whole floor evenly, up to 1,000 m² each — the natural choice for larger flexible workspace buildings.

One scent, every site

Multi-site operators can run the same signature fragrance at every location, so members get the same welcome whichever building they badge into.

Our approach

How Scenteq works with co-working & flexible workspace

  1. 01

    Walk the space

    We look at your layout, footfall and air handling, and where members and visitors actually spend their time.

  2. 02

    Choose a signature

    Sample from our fragrance library and pick a scent that fits your brand — fresh and focused, or warm and sociable.

  3. 03

    Specify and supply

    We recommend the right units and settings for each zone and supply everything you need to get started.

  4. 04

    Set and forget

    Scent runs to a schedule set in the app around your opening hours, with fragrance refills included on your plan.

Fragrance

Fresh, clean profiles suit shared workspaces best: enough to lift the air and signal care, never enough to distract someone on a call. Many operators run a brighter scent at reception and a softer one on desk floors.

  • Fresh citrus and green tea
  • Clean linen and soft musk
  • Cedar and bergamot
  • Crisp green notes

Trust

What you can hold us to.

We would rather under-promise. These are commitments we can evidence — not claims about how much you will sell.

  • IFRA-certified fragrance

    Oils are supplied to IFRA standards with safety data sheets available before you order.

  • Written price before you commit

    System, scent, delivery date and monthly cost confirmed in writing before you order.

  • Supplied and supported by us

    A UK-based team, remote support and scheduled refill deliveries — not a drop-shipped box.

  • Dry vapour, no residue

    Cold-air diffusion leaves no oily film on surfaces, glass or soft furnishings.

  • Tuned after setup

    We refine the intensity after go-live so the scent feels right in the space.

Scenteq is a UK-registered company. Insurance certificates, safety data sheets and reference sites are available on request. Prices shown exclude VAT.

FAQs

Co-working & Flexible Workspace scenting FAQs

Yes, at the right intensity. Commercial cold-air diffusion releases a fine, dry mist rather than heat or aerosol, and levels are set so the space feels fresh without being noticeable at a desk. Most operators focus scent on reception, lounges, kitchens and washrooms rather than quiet desk zones.

It depends on floor area and layout. One Aroma Ultra standalone unit covers up to 500 m², and one Aircent HVAC unit covers up to 1,000 m² through your air handling. We size it for you in a free consultation.

Yes. Many flexible workspace operators choose one signature scent for every site, so the brand smells the same wherever a member works.

All our fragrances are IFRA certified, with safety data sheets available on request. We recommend low intensity, placement away from desks and scheduled breaks, and the level can be turned down or paused from the app at any time.

Standalone units need no installation — they sit on a surface or mount on a wall. HVAC units connect to your air handling and are fitted by your own facilities team or contractor, following our written guidance.

Yes. Serviced offices, business centres and shared office spaces use the same approach: a signature scent in reception, corridors and shared lounges, with lighter or no scent inside private offices unless the occupier asks for it.

Standalone scenting starts from £59 + VAT a month on an annual plan, including the unit and fragrance refills. HVAC scenting and outright purchase are also available — get a free quote for your space.

The lobby reads as finished now. Guests do not comment on the fragrance — they comment on the hotel feeling more expensive.
