‘Tis the season to be jolly, and Mecca Bingo has launched a limited edition range of festive dabbers to make the season even jollier.
From the sweet smell of cinnamon to fresh notes of pine, the UK is a nation that unashamedly goes crazy for a Christmassy scent. Scientific research has proven that perfumes and smells have the ability to spark memories and boost our mood. Now Mecca Bingo is foraying into the world of fragrance to enhance the joy of bingo gameplay this season, launching a range of scented bingo dabbers inspired by Brits’ favourite festive fragrances.
Set to bring extra cheer to bingo players across the country; the exclusive limited edition dabbers are inspired by the scents of some of the nation’s most beloved Christmas traditions and treats:
Mulled Wine: a warming blend of aromatic cinnamon mixed with full-bodied red wine and a classic twist of citrusy orange.
Putting Up the Christmas Tree: Mecca Bingo has captured the familiar aroma of decorating the centrepiece of every festive home, with notes of forest fresh pine, cedar wood, rich scents of clove and the sweetness of orange peel.
Pigs in Blankets: distinctive aromas of sage have been contrasted with the scent of bacon and a touch of smoke to evoke memories of Christmas Day dinner.
Christmas Research
The launch comes as new research, commissioned by Mecca Bingo, reveals 1 in 3 (33%) UK adults say that buying festive scents is one of the rituals that get them in the Christmas spirit, alongside watching yuletide films (64%) and eating mince pies (37%).
The research also revealed the scents that Brits associate most with the holiday season, including cinnamon (31%), roast turkey (27%), and pigs in blankets (18%). It’s been long known that scents can have a powerful impact on our emotions, in fact of those that Mecca Bingo surveyed, over half (58%) say Christmassy scents make them feel joyful, whilst others said nostalgic (36%) and excited (18%).
Despite 42% of Brits saying that a Christmas tree instantly reminds them of the festive season, when the decorating happens is more divisive. More than 1 in 10 (11%) are so eager to get into the festive spirit that they begin to deck the halls and put up their Christmas tree during November, a whole month before the big day. However, the most popular time for Brits to put up their Christmas tree is the first week of December, with a further 18% starting the festivities on the first of the month.
Sarah O’Neill, director of innovation at Mecca Bingo, said of the launch;
“At Mecca, we’re all about bringing people together to share happy moments, and there is nothing more joyous than the magic of the Christmas season.”
“Our festive dabbers are designed to add an extra touch of seasonal joy to gameplay this Christmas, as fragrances of mulled wine, putting up the Christmas tree, and pigs in blankets waft up from bingo tickets across the country!”
