Flying in a private jet is an experience—the sleek aircraft design, sound of the wings cutting through the wind,&nbsp;feel of the leather seats and&nbsp;taste of the meals. But what about the smell? Zodiac Aerospace (Booth N908) created a fragrance diffusion system for the VIP aviation market called Five. The device, which is named after the fifth sense, features fragrances created to evoke a certain mood or theme in an aircraft cabin. The company recently completed testing on a BBJ interior in September.

 


Five’s fragrances are separated into eight categories: crisp and invigorating; passionate and sensual; timeless and floral; voyage and escape; luxe and sophisticated; relaxing and soothing; warm and inviting; and savory and gourmand. The scents—which include black orchid, green fig, lemongrass,&nbsp;vanilla bean and mahogany—are made with dry scent technology that releases fragments at a molecular level. Each fragrance lasts 30 days with continuous use, and customers can buy a single fragrance or up to four at one time.

 


Jean-Marc Lemaitre, head of business-development for Five, told AIN, “If the customer has their own signature fragrance they already know or something that they like...we would offer to get that signature fragrance in the cabin.”

 


Zodiac Aerospace is planning to work with aircraft manufacturers or VIP completions centers for Five’s aircraft installation. According to Lemaitre, installation involves placing the diffuser inside a side cabinet or wall and then attaching an exhaust for the fragrance to permeate the cabin. The diffuser allows the fragrance to be dispersed in a specific cabin zone and the strength of the scent can easily be controlled.
