I’ve always been fascinated by signature scents in public spaces, especially hotels. Whenever I walk into the Aria Hotel and Casino, my mood instantly brightens. The fragrance there evokes happiness, glamor, and divine luxury—and I’m glad of course it largely masks the residual cigarette smoke odor. 

The Aria scent is known as “Asian Garden”—comprised of “jasmine, vanilla, gardenia and more”—and you can buy it, along with 100-plus other fragrances, at Aroma Retail, on S Valley View Blvd near Allegiant Stadium. 

Want to sample all their scents? Stop into their “Smelly Bar” which is part of a large space where they produce and ship the scents globally.  Diffusers, oils, room sprays, candles, and more are for sale here and online. 

So many scents, so little time. (Image: Vegas 411)

Aroma is owned by Cristina Reding whose husband, CEO Jim Reding, created custom signature fragrances for top Vegas resorts, casinos, and other commercial environments before Aroma began offering their scents to the public in 2017.

Aroma’s website includes a list of 40-plus resorts and their fragrances. Caesars deploys “Empire,” a potion containing “orange, rose, cedar, wood, and more.” Beyond Vegas, the London Marriott favors “Leaf Spring,” with "orange, freesia, cedarwood, and more.”  If you want your home or office to smell like you’re on permanent vacation at a high-end resort, Aroma has your vacation fantasies covered.
