Experiential marketing you can wear home
Your brand,
bottled and worn.
A live perfume machine at your launch, conference, or client event — guests take your branded quiz and leave with a 1-of-1 scent, your label on every bottle. A brand activation that doesn't get tossed in the hotel bin.
Plan an ActivationHow It Works
One machine. A bottle for each guest.
01
The Brand Fitting
A session with your team translates the campaign world — its mood, product, or launch concept — into a signature scent. The quiz gets written around your brand, references, and message.
02
The Activation
We bring the machine to your launch, booth, or event. Guests take the branded quiz on their phones and watch their 1-of-1 bottle — or your campaign scent — compounded live.
03
The Takeaway
Every guest leaves with a white-labeled bottle carrying your branding and their scent. A tactile piece of the campaign that lives on a desk, not a landfill.
Why It Fits
Memory through scent
Smell is the sense most tied to memory. An activation guests can smell — and re-smell for months — outlasts any swag bag or screen impression.
A dwell-time magnet
The machine draws a crowd and holds it. Two minutes of quiz plus watching the robotics work means real booth time and real conversations — not a badge scan and a walk-off.
Fully your brand
Branded quiz, branded label, branded scent. We stay invisible. The experience reads as yours from the QR code to the bottle in their hand.
Content that makes itself
Guests film their own bottle being made and post it — a personalized, shareable moment that carries your brand into their feed without a media buy.
Packages
Every engagement starts with a fitting.
A fitting is a private session where a signature scent gets made. The quiz guides, you smell the materials, the machine compounds candidates live until it fits. If you don’t love what we make together, everything stops there. When you continue, the fitting is credited in full.
The Booth
The machine live at your activation with a dedicated attendant and a quiz written around your brand. Guests take the quiz and leave with a 1-of-1 or your campaign scent, your label on every bottle.

FAQ
Common questions.
How is this better than branded swag?
Swag is generic and forgettable. A custom fragrance is personal to each guest and tied to memory through smell — it leaves the venue, gets used, and re-surfaces your brand every time it's worn.
Can the quiz reference our brand or product?
That's the point. We write the quiz around your campaign, product, references, and message. The formula engine works the same; the experience feels entirely like yours.
Is A Priori branding visible to guests?
No. The quiz, the label, and the scent are all white-labeled to your brand. We run the machine and stay in the background.
How many guests can you handle at an activation?
Multiple guests take the quiz simultaneously on their own phones, and each bottle takes about two minutes. We scale attendants and machine time to your expected footfall — tell us the headcount and we'll spec it.
Can you do corporate gifting without an on-site event?
Yes. A fitting makes your company scent, and we batch white-labeled minis for client gifts, onboarding, or holiday sends — no activation required.
Where do you operate?
Based in Marin County, primarily serving the San Francisco Bay Area, Napa, and Sonoma, with travel available for destination activations.
