Shania Twain was announced as the winner of the SMItty Award for Most Innovative Use of Scent Marketing. It is awarded to a brand owner who has implemented an outstanding use of scent in a way that is new and unexpected.
In her Las Vegas Show, Shania: Still The One, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the air is infused throughout the show with various specialized scents. Twain’s own fragrances, Still The One Day and Still The One Night, are wafted throughout the audience and slowly transitions into a saloon scent (leathery and vintage) and then into the smell of a campfire. Scent machines are strategically placed throughout The Colosseum for audience members to experience the show from all senses.
