One of the BEST feelings in the world is walking into your Disney World hotel on the first day of your vacation and taking a gigantic whiff of the glorious Disney smells.
Yes, each Disney World hotel has its own scent which also has a strange way of smelling like every other Disney World hotel at the same time. We often find ourselves wishing we could just bottle up these smells and take them home with us so that or houses can smell like Disney World, too. Well, we’re here to tell you how you can do EXACTLY THAT.
If you didn’t already know, Disney uses ScentAir to fragrance their hotels and theme parks. That’s why they all smell distinctly Disney but so different at the same time. We were able to find out WHICH ScentAir fragrances are used in three of Disney World’s most popular hotels.
While these scents are specific to brands and businesses, so you can’t purchase the exact same ones, there are ones that are pretty darn close.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge smells woodsy, comforting, and honestly, a lot like Christmas.
ScentAir’s “Walk in the Woods” scent is said to be super similar to the hotel’s scent, and it’s available in candles, diffusers, and even room sprays.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
The Grand Floridian just smells distinctly Disney. It just smells clean, light, and luxurious. A lot of folks get notes of aloe, clover, patchouli, and melon, in particular.
There’s no single scent from ScentAir that can act as an alternative to the Grand Floridian’s smell, but ScentAir does have a Green Clover and Aloe smell that might do the trick! They also have a plain patchouli scent that you could burn at the same time to get the full effect.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
The Polynesian smells like the perfect island getaway. It’s light and refreshing, it’s reminiscent of the beach, and there are a few notes of something woodsy here and there.
ScentAir’s Island Breeze is said to be super similar to this, as it has notes of Tiare flower, orange blossom, solar amber and musk.
And there you have it! We hope that this helps to put you well on your merry journey down a rabbit hole of Disney scents. We’ll be sure to keep you updated with more Disney news as we have it, so make sure to follow along so that you’re always in the loop.
