Promotool to Showcase Innovative Scent Technology at Kansai 2026 Foodex Show

Promotool's Participation in Kansai 2026 Foodex Show

Promotool Co., a leading scent technology company based in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, is excited to announce its participation in the 18th Hotel, Restaurant, Show & Foodex Japan in Kansai, taking place from July 22 to 24, 2026 at Intex Osaka. Under the leadership of CEO Kensuke Ogata, Promotool is dedicated to enhancing branding through scents.

At their exhibition booth, attendees can experience total branding through scent. The booth will feature a team of perfumers led by Takeshi Watanabe, renowned as Japan’s top perfumer, showcasing high-quality and safe fragrances. Visitors will have the opportunity to see the luxurious commercial aroma diffuser, Scent FOREST II, known for its wide diffusion and low noise capabilities. Additionally, the new fragrance, Earl Grey & Thyme, will be unveiled for the first time. This sophisticated scent combines a rich Earl Grey base with herbaceous thyme, creating an elegant and deeply layered tea-time aroma that evokes the ambiance of Parisian salons and luxurious hotel lounges.

Promotool has undergone extensive development of scent branding expertise, gained from collaborations with prestigious clients such as Japan Airlines, Asuka III, and Manpei Hotel. The company emphasizes that scents play an increasingly vital role in differentiating experiences within spaces, moving from mere lodging to providing memorable experiences. In an era where sensory space experiences are essential for competitiveness, fragrances serve as a critical element in conveying brand identity and fostering repeat visits through memorability.

Furthermore, there’s a rising demand to take scents experienced in hotels home, leading Promotool to fortify its OEM development for hotel amenities and scented items. This includes the consistent design of scents in both space experience and product offerings that can be taken home. Such approaches help extend the engagement of hotel brands beyond the stay, enhancing brand recollection and encouraging return visits.

At the Promotool booth, visitors will find a demonstration of the high-end diffuser Scent FOREST II, along with samples of OEM goods and marketing-friendly fragrance cards. Attendees will also get an exclusive first look at the new fragrance from Takeshi Watanabe, reinforcing Promotool's commitment to shaping brand value through scents.

Exhibiting Background: The Competitive Edge of Scent in Space Value

As the competition for spatial value intensifies, the quality of experiences in hotels and commercial facilities becomes a fundamental source of competitiveness. The shift from merely staying in a space to providing memorable experiences accelerates this transformation.

As sensory elements such as sight, sound, service, and scent create immersive experiences, the implementation of fragrances is expanding rapidly. This is seen in notable hotels like Hotel New Grand and leading brands, which are increasingly utilizing scent to create cohesive experiences that range from lobby to room to spa.

The Promotool booth will offer insight into various product categories, including high-end diffuser technology, original aroma development, and a wide array of hotel amenities. From hand creams to body oils, their offerings promise to create a consistent scent experience throughout the stay.

Attendees are encouraged to visit Promotool's booth (Booth No. 5-D7) in the 5th Hall focused on guest room supplies, amenities, and furniture to learn more about how they can integrate scent into their branding strategies.

Promotool is dedicated to enhancing brand value through the power of scent, contributing to the growth of the fragrance business in Japan.
