Scent plays a subtle but supportive role in schools by shaping focus, comfort and a sense of freshness throughout learning environments. Zaluti develops tailored scent marketing concepts that respect sensitivity, daily routines and the diverse use of educational spaces. Each area receives a carefully balanced sensory layer that supports concentration and wellbeing without becoming noticeable or distracting.
Menthe Fraîche
Fresh, light and clear. Menthe Fraîche supports alertness and a sense of clarity, making it well suited to classrooms, study areas and corridors. The fragrance feels clean and uplifting without being sharp, helping spaces feel fresh and attentive.
Fig Garden
Soft, natural and reassuring. Fig Garden adds warmth and familiarity, making it ideal for common areas, libraries and staff rooms. The scent supports a calm, approachable atmosphere that feels welcoming to students and staff alike.
Neutral
Discreet, unobtrusive and clean. Neutral is designed for spaces where scent presence should be minimal, such as sanitary facilities or sensitive areas. It supports freshness without introducing a recognisable fragrance profile.
