Intro:
In this festive Saint Patrick’s Day edition of The Scenting Guy, host Jim Reding raises a green beer with producer Mike Hewitt and special guest Justin, Aroma Retail’s Fulfillment Manager. From near-death appendix stories to Irish-scented nostalgia and the launch of Leaf Spring, this episode blends humor, heart, and the scent of spring renewal.
Meet Justin: The Fulfillment Wizard Behind the Scents
Justin celebrates nearly five years with Aroma Retail, rising through the ranks to become the fulfillment manager. He shares what keeps him loyal—hint: it’s more than the paycheck.
“It’s one of the reasons I wake up in the morning—if not the reason.” – Justin
He walks through the complexity of fulfilling orders with tight turnarounds, managing raw materials, labor, and quality—all while keeping the team on track and customers happy.
Spotlight Scent: Leaf Spring
Perfectly timed for the season, Leaf Spring returns as the featured scent of the month.
-
Developed for a Marriott in London, this scent captures luxurious greenery without florals or citrus.
-
Notes of lush grass, soft earth, and the deep, natural freshness of springtime in the British Isles.
-
Jim describes it as “the real thing” — like sticking your face in a rain-drenched hedge in Ireland.
Green Beers, Irish Roots & Smelly Charm Throwbacks
The crew watches a throwback promo video featuring Jim in a questionable Irish accent. Is it festive or a little Jamaican? You decide.
They also share ancestry test results—Justin’s got Mexican, Polish, and a bit of Irish heritage, while Jim’s tied to a revolutionary figure in Irish history.
Product Launch Throwback: The Smart 101
-
Mike recounts launching the Smart 101 diffuser at a Chicago home innovation expo (on St. Paddy’s Day, no less).
-
Now with over 10,000 units in use, it’s Aroma Retail’s most successful diffuser to date.
“Just that one machine is scenting thousands of spaces. It’s smart, app-connected, and supported by real humans.”
Why Aroma Retail Machines Are Different
Jim and Justin break down what sets Aroma Retail apart:
-
Machines are made in-house with full customer support.
-
If you’re stuck, just call—no bots, no contracts, real help.
-
Refurbished machines are tested and pre-set based on customer needs.
-
Care team is passionate, hands-on, and constantly earning 5-star reviews.
