Have you ever stepped into a store and felt a sense of familiarity?
Some stores make us feel comfortable, like we're at home, while other stores give off a posh and high class vibe from the moment you enter. Some places feel clean, fresh, and new, while certain locations may seem so familiar, just like somewhere out of your childhood memory.
Well, guess what? The way you feel may not be a coincidence after all — in fact, it could be your nose and sense of smell that's behind all these feelings! :O
According to Mood Media, 75% of the emotions we generate every day is because of smell. That explains why we may feel a certain way just by entering a mall, hotel, or café.
The same research also showed that we are "100 times more likely to remember something we smell over something we see, hear, or touch".
Brands with chain stores emphasise on creating an excellent in-store experience that includes ambient scenting, which is why you'll notice each of their stores smell the same way and invoke the same feeling, no matter the outlet.
Besides a sense of familiarity, the right scents can also make shoppers feel more comfortable and confident. A survey by hygiene services provider Initial showed that a majority of Malaysians (77%) felt that a space was clean, just because it had a pleasant smell.Plus, 72% Malaysians agreed that a nice scent would make them want to stay longer in an establishment.
