Fragrance props in public spaces such as malls, pop-up events, and airports must balance brand impact with strict safety compliance. Oversized perfume displays need to be both visually striking and fully certified for public use.
At Samtop, we help brands create fragrance displays that are beautiful, brand-aligned, and fully safe for public interaction.
When designing fragrance props for public spaces like malls, pop-up events, or airports, the stakes are higher. You must adhere to strict safety regulations, from fire safety to stability requirements, while still creating eye-catching displays that align with your brand’s identity. Ensuring your display is safe without compromising its visual impact can be a tricky balance.
Failing to meet safety and compliance standards could lead to rejection from malls, delays in installation, or worst of all, injuries to the public. These risks not only compromise your brand reputation but also cause legal liabilities and additional costs. Ensuring that your fragrance props meet structural and safety standards is non-negotiable, especially in high-traffic public spaces.
At Samtop, we specialize in designing fragrance props that are not only visually striking but also meet the highest safety standards for public spaces. From fire-retardant materials to anti-tip engineering, we help brands navigate the complex landscape of public display compliance, creating safe, stunning, and interactive fragrance displays.
Looking to make your fragrance display both safe and impactful? Learn how to design fragrance props that not only captivate but also comply with public safety regulations. Keep reading to discover how Samtop ensures your display is both brand-perfect and compliant.
Why Fragrance Props in Public Spaces Need Extra Safety
| Safety Factor | Requirement in Public Spaces |
|---|---|
| Base Stability | Weighted steel, anti-tip engineering |
| Fire Compliance | FRP B1, PU foam ASTM E84, certificates req. |
| Kid-Safe Surfaces | Rounded edges, no sharp corners |
| Electrical Integration | Low-voltage, IP-rated LEDs only |
| Maintenance | Easy-clean coatings, UV-protected paints |
Safety Guidelines for Perfume Displays in Public Spaces
✅ 1. Stable Base Structure
- Use weighted bases (steel plates, sandbags) hidden in plinths
- Ensure 1:1.5 ratio between base width and prop height for stability
- Example: 2m perfume bottle with 0.8m steel core + foam shell
✅ 2. Fire-Retardant Materials
- FRP (B1-rated), PU foam (ASTM E84), and water-based paints
- Required for mall atriums, airports, and pop-up zones
- We provide fire compliance certificates for local approval
✅ 3. Smooth Edges + Kid-Safe Surfaces
- No exposed screws, sharp tips, or brittle acrylic corners
- Use matte, scratch-resistant PU or soft-edge resin coatings
- Expect children to touch and interact — props must be resilient
✅ 4. Anti-Tip Engineering
- Add hidden bolts, anti-slip pads, or attach to base platform
- Test against simulated wind/bump if freestanding
- Required for open atrium placements and multi-week campaigns
✅ 5. No Loose Parts or Unsafe Motion
- Avoid open drawers, rotating parts, or fragile hinges
- If interactive, ensure all mechanics are internally sealed
✅ 6. Clear Maintenance Plan
- Props exposed to sunlight, dust, and touch need:
- Easy-clean surfaces (non-fingerprint)
- UV-protected paint (won’t yellow or fade)
- Quick swap options for damaged decals or logos
Design Tips for Safe but Stunning Fragrance Props
| Strategy | Execution Tip |
|---|---|
| Lighting | Use base uplighting, edge glow, or halo rings |
| Proportion | Props should scale between 1.2m–2.5m max height |
| Photo Zone | Create branded backdrop or mirror base for selfies |
| Color | Match Pantone with high-opacity paint or vinyl |
| Modularity | Design to break into 2–3 pieces for crate transport |
This project shows how oversized fragrance props for malls can be both safe and visually powerful when engineered with fire-rated FRP and modular assembly.
Real Case: Public Perfume Sculpture in Southeast Asia Mall
- Brand: Niche fragrance brand global expansion
- Location: Mall atrium (Singapore)

Result:
- Approved by mall engineering team in 2 days
- Survived 45-day campaign without damage
- 2,000+ branded UGC photos
FAQ Block (With Keywords)
Q1: Do all malls require fire-rated props?
✅ A:Yes — we provide fragrance display safety certificates for malls and airports.
Q2: What about lighting integration?
✅ A: Only use low-voltage, IP-rated LEDs with sealed drivers. Provide battery or mall-circuit compatibility.
Q3: Can props be both interactive and safe?
✅ A: Yes, if touchpoints are limited and reinforced. We also design QR-based “invisible” interaction instead of moving parts.
