The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music? But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to buy.A brand store has become famous for its wonderful scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, from scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers' desire to buy increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris, scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on slaes. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famousbrands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricksand-mortar stores （实体店）can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this. Now a famous store uses man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut（椰子）scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.8.
