Scent drives some of the most immersive experiences in marketing and for its latest stunt, DraftKings is inviting sports fans to scan and sniff a fragrance for the US Open. Love Love is a limited-run fragrance and the very first of its kind from DraftKings, and it's one that shares the scent of fresh tennis balls all day long. As the sports betting company describes, "You love the smell of fresh tennis balls, and now you can wear it."
This exclusive tennis ball-scented fragrance was developed in partnership with VaynerMedia and it is only available to adults who enter to win it by placing a bet on the US Open through the DraftKings Sportsbook. Those who want to catch a whiff of the unusual fragrance can also do so through the Love Love Scan and Sniff Mural in Manhattan.
