I find Lidl has a really weird smell coming from their bakery section which permeates through the whole shop and makes me feel queasy.

I feel I am more used to the smell now I am an avid Lush shopper. I rarely buy cosmetics anywhere else.

I do draw the line at their chewable toothpaste tablets tho.

it’s probably a fake baking smell pumped into the shop

Car Showrooms smell more like fresh, crisp paintwork/polish/cleaning stuff - whatever it is, smells much more like solvents than lovely new car interior.

Carpet shops smell like carpet, obviously.

He did and can confirm he was regularly glittery and smelled like a toxic pot pourri.

I find that supermarkets all have distinct smells despite selling pretty much exactly the same products. weird.

Favourite is Sainsbos. Least favourite is tescos.

Ironic considering their clientele

(hi peens, how’ve you been?)

#21

herbalists, independent health food shops that stock cosmetics - they all use those aroma diffusers that puff oil into the air

charity shops that smell like damp

lots of brands now work with scent manufacturers to bottle their own signature scent

Saw a C&A this weekend and it reminded me that they always smelled of cheap carpets.
