ONE°15 Marina and CocosBotanica Brings Luxury to the Senses with Olfactory Design

Luxury yachting hub and private members club ONEº15 Marina Sentosa Cove has launched its first-ever signature scent, developed in partnership with local artisanal scent and skincare brand CocosBotanica. The bespoke fragrance is currently diffused across key areas of the Marina, creating a distinctive and invigorating sensory experience for Members.

Refined over nine iterations, the fragrance blends driftwood, shoreline grasses, and sea spray with blue cypress, known in aromatherapy for its calming and stress-reducing qualities. Softer notes of citrus, juniper, lavender, sandalwood, vanilla, and spikenard add warmth and balance. The result is a clean, welcoming scent designed to complement the Marina’s natural seaside setting without overwhelming Members’ senses.

The collaboration between the marina club and local artisanal fragrance brand is set to deepen emotional connections through experiential branding 

“As a Members’ club, we are committed to curating memorable experiences at every touchpoint,” said Mr Nick McLaughlin, General Manager of ONE°15 Marina. “Fragrance may seem like a small detail, but studies have shown it can influence mood, memory, and perception of space. We wanted something fresh, natural, and tied to our location by the sea.”

Research in neuroscience and psychology shows that scent is uniquely powerful in shaping the human experience. Unlike other senses, olfactory signals travel directly to the limbic system – the part of the brain that governs emotions, memory, and behaviour. This is why a familiar aroma can instantly trigger vivid recollections or influence mood subconsciously. By incorporating olfactory design, ONE°15 Marina is aligning with a growing global trend where luxury brands leverage fragrance as part of experiential branding, extending beyond visual identity to create emotional connections.

Singapore’s aromatherapy market, valued at approximately USD 44.9 million in 2023, is projected to reach USD 84.1 million by 20302, representing a robust 9.4% compound annual growth rate. While consumer aromatherapy data is well-documented, the commercial scenting sector remains largely untracked, suggesting significant untapped potential for brands like CocosBotanica to position themselves in this niche.

The collaboration with CocosBotanica was driven by the Marina’s search for a bespoke, high-quality, locally crafted scent. Owner Dayyan James (DJ), a long-time Marina member, worked directly with Marina management to refine the formula. 

“Scent is an often-overlooked but powerful tool in creating meaningful experiences,” said DJ. “Olfactory cues are closely tied to memory and emotional response. For us, the challenge was to create a fragrance distinctive enough to be memorable but subtle enough to work across shared spaces. This project was about reflecting the Marina itself: calm, fresh, and connected to the sea.”

Practical considerations were also central to the design: the formula was adjusted to minimise allergens, while diffusion levels were calibrated for open-space airflow to prevent both scent fatigue and under-diffusion. The fragrance is currently in a “live trial” phase, with Members’ feedback helping fine-tune the experience.

The launch of the signature scent has already generated interest in CocosBotanica’s work from other luxury lifestyle spaces, including golf courses, hotels, and wellness studios. 

The Marina’s extensive network of member clubs presents significant expansion opportunities for the brand’s commercial scenting division.

“We’re seeing strong interest from the club’s connections across the region,” said DJ. “The member network includes marinas, golf clubs, and country clubs, all premium spaces where signature scenting can enhance the member experience.”

The timing aligns with CocosBotanica’s broader expansion strategy. The company recently established a franchise operation in New Zealand, set to launch before the Christmas holiday season, as it capitalises on growing demand for luxury aromatherapy products.

While the fragrance is currently exclusive to ONE°15 Marina, CocosBotanica is exploring a limited, made-to-order retail collection, such as home diffusers, to allow Members to bring the scent into their own spaces.
