Vision Statement

Mission

Aeroscena® has pioneered the science of evidence-based aromatherapy for improving human health and wellness. This includes the development of aromatherapeutic formulas to address conditions such as insomnia, anxiety, nausea, and pain.


History

Aeroscena was founded in 2010 by CEO Mark Kohoot while he was acting as an advisor to Dr. Michael Roizen, Chief Wellness Officer at the Cleveland Clinic, where Aeroscena is now headquartered. Both saw the opportunity to elevate aromatherapy to the level of medical standards via the use of rigorous quality standards in concert with clinical research and testing in major hospitals and healthcare institutions.  

Since its founding, Aeroscena has helped establish a higher standard of transparency, quality, and scientific rigor within the field of aromatherapy and phyto-inhalants. Through collaborative partnerships with researchers and healthcare institutions, the company has supported clinical studies demonstrating positive outcomes related to pain, nausea, anxiety, and sleep. Today, Ascents® products are used in leading healthcare facilities across the United States.

Natural and Functional Fragrance

Beyond healthcare applications, Aeroscena develops natural and functional fragrance programs designed to enhance indoor environments while minimizing reliance on synthetic fragrance systems. These include custom signature scents, wellness-oriented ambient scenting programs, and Fresh™, originally developed for the Delos Living Stay Well™ guest room program.

Proprietary Delivery Systems

Aeroscena’s technology platform includes:

  • Precision personal inhalers designed using principles of fluid dynamics
  • Patented polymerized essential oil gel technology
  • Water-free, heat-free ambient diffusion systems
  • Proprietary diffuser timing algorithms designed to improve scent consistency and reduce habituation

The Future of Scent

For most of human history, scent has been viewed primarily as fragrance—a means of masking odors or creating pleasant environments.

Aeroscena believes a broader perspective is emerging.

Light carries information. Sound carries information. Touch carries information. Scent carries information.

The company’s long-term vision is to better understand how olfactory inputs influence human state across physiological, cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioral domains.

This understanding may enable the development of increasingly precise scent-based interventions for healthcare, hospitality, wellness, consumer products, transportation, and industrial applications.

Future opportunities include:

  • Wellness-oriented hospitality environments
  • Natural alternatives to synthetic fragrance systems
  • Personal care and home care products
  • Cognitive and behavioral support applications
  • Automotive and transportation environments
  • Industrial sensing and condition-monitoring technologies

As research advances, Aeroscena’s objective remains unchanged: to apply scientific rigor to the understanding and responsible use of scent as a meaningful component of human experience.
