What horrible...Hi, Bookwyrm!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment. What horrible experiences you've had! You bring out some good points. If you read the article I referred to, the author mentions considerations/concerns like yours. For example, she notes that people resent overly-obvious scents; that people interpret scents differently; and that some can have strong negative physical reactions to scent.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for bringing out this side of the discussion.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831759940834361548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409282.post-1306672131440056232007-02-17T16:16:00.000-08:002007-02-17T16:16:00.000-08:00I think it's a terrible idea. I used to work in a ...I think it's a terrible idea. I used to work in a retail store in the summers, where they used a scent that was supposed to make people want to buy things.<BR/><BR/>Every summer when I started working there again, I came home with a pounding headache. After about a week, I would get used to it, but I'm sure it was killing lots of brain cells.<BR/><BR/>I have stopped shopping at certain stores because they have smells in the air. Chapters is one example. We wouldn't want people avoiding the library just because there is a scent in the air.<BR/><BR/>Finally, I once had an allergic reaction from a perfume in a local store - I went into anaphylactic shock and ended up going to the hospital. Later, the store refused to tell me what perfume it was - I think they were afraid that I was going to sue them. Anyway, trust me, scents in the air are a very bad idea.ultimatebookwyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13308701661241496301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409282.post-47599979837134148922007-02-15T09:00:00.000-08:002007-02-15T09:00:00.000-08:00It sure does! ;-)It sure does! ;-)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831759940834361548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9409282.post-47072921159421981462007-02-15T01:17:00.000-08:002007-02-15T01:17:00.000-08:00This idea stinks.This idea stinks.Paul (from Idea Sandbox)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14735329723732392219noreply@blogger.com
