It's no secret that scent can be a powerful emotional trigger. Air Wick uses that to memorable effect in this new long-form ad from Droga5—by capturing the scents of home, infusing them into customized candles and sending them to a U.S. serviceman overseas so he can feel closer to his wife and six children at home in North Carolina.
The spot doesn't skimp on poignant moments, or patriotic themes. Apple pie and a baseball glove are among the scents packaged up and sent to Kearen Feller, who hasn't seen his family in 11 months while stationed at Qatar Air Force Base.
Air Wick doesn't actually create customized scented candles.
