marcuset Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I wandered into this new store after an appointment today...the scent is like a sandalwood/fireplace type that has me I asked the clerks what it was...think they would tell me? Nah. They said they had no clue. Anyone ventured into one & have a guess at what that scent is? I'll have to make another trek back some day & sniff some more.

marcuset Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 I should add...the clerks did acknowledge it was a piped in scent - not just the aroma coming from a display. Ah well...it sure smelled good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I love the idea of a store signature scent! Now, let me find a Cabella's.... I am so curious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveandlight Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Don't think they have one of those around me but I LOVE LOVE LOVE how some of the upscale hotels have fragrances piped in throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Here I misspelled it...would think based on phonics - not. CABELASI love the idea of piped in scents too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) crappy motel chains and themeparks do it too!Actually the smell of Holiday Inn is not dissimilar to Little Tree's Black Ice scent.I do however loath the "perfume fart" wafting around a 20ft radius of any A&F or Hollister store. Gag. This isn't really new, but it is catching on more and more especially with department stores.I think Cabelas scent is based on castoreum a suade-like leathery vanilla, though I might be thinking of Bass Pro Shops which also utilize piped scent.

Guest OldGlory Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Oh, I work in a store where we are expected to 'scent the store' every 2 hours. That entails taking one of our colognes and dousing the store with it. It's awful. People complain. I actually wrote the company and asked if the fragrances they use are phthalate (sp?) free. Their answer was dodgey so I have to assume they are not. It would have been so much easier to say YES they are rather than the lenghty and vague response I got.

megandgarr Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 One of the stores that overscents to the point of nausea is Kirklands Home. Yuck. It is so overpowering. I can smell it in their parking lot and I can only stand to spend a few minutes in their store. If they wanted customers to stick around a little longer, they should scale back so that we can breathe. And that is saying a lot coming from me because I like tarts that burn the nose hairs, but Kirklands signature scent is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to mention Kirklands too, but I wasn't sure if it was a chain or just something in our area. But yeah, I have to agree...Good God it's awful! LOL.I refuse to shop there anymore. Last time I walked in the store, within minutes I became dizzy and nauseated. Smell is horrid. A full strength blast of spicy floral!

candlelady Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I googled and it seems a company calledScentair does the piped in scents. Very ingeniousIdea IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Years ago I sold room sprays made with cyclomethicone. One of my customers came back and bought every bottle I had of one scent - he told me he was using it to spray the air filter in his house, and that was spreading the scent throughout the house. Pretty easy to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 The only thing I've ever smelled in there is doe urine. Are you sure you're in a Cabella's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 :-) I know, right? That's what you'd think. Positive, though. New Cabelas in Green Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvie Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I can only stay in Kirkland's for a few minutes before I start to get a headache. The smell is overpowering.Haha!
