I’ve just recently ran into an article that explains how Americans love the different scents of Christmas, and particularly the one of Pine Tree. ScentSicles has been working on the development of scented ornaments to make also fake pine trees smell like real trees.

What’s that Christmas smell!?

Did you know that if you’re abou to buy or rent a house, you’re actually more likely to go for it if when you see it for the first time it smells like apple pie? Has it ever happened to you? According to Martin Lindstrom, author of Brand Sense, the sense of smell influences emotions and mood and can trigger memories of a specific time in our lives. Some scents may evoke happiness, some other sadness, some other energy, tiredness excitement… Well, it seems unlikely that we’ll ever walk into a room and say, “I smell HMW” or “Ann Summers” or “Disney”, but a brand like “Sony” already has its distinguishing and particular ‘brand scent’.

It’s definitely interesting information to want to learn more about!
Enough about that, let’s talk about something cool! How would Continue reading
I would first like wish everyone a  very Happy Thanksgiving! I can already smell the aroma of turkey, mash potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, as I write this sentence. Unfortunately this year I won’t be able to partake in the Thanksgiving festivities because I have to work. Luckily I have a wonderful  husband who will be bringing me a plate on my lunch break.

Hello everyone! I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. The days in November seems to be rolling by faster than I realize (probably for you too). I’ve notice Christmas decorations are already being put up in retail stores and houses all around the Silicon Valley.
I started to notice that in November stores are starting to smell a bit different. When I was strolling through the mall, I instantly Continue reading
