Store smell

Anything wood is the best. I go into hardware store with a straw and start snorting lines of sawdust I enjoy it that much. Lol.

No but really. The smell of a grinding disc on pine to the point where you're burning the wood is the bomb. Also I have a wooden chess set and it fold in half into a box the pieces are kept in, and the finish they use on the wood, plus the wood itself, has this very vinegar type scent that has last at least 15 years if not more since I have had this chess set, so most likely more than 15 years. It's fantastic.

 

i don't do enough business with big box stores to have noticed.

i remember the old lucky markets grocery chain, well they would never hire enough people to keep things clean, eventually all the ones i knew of went out of business.

hardware, building supply, and model building hobby shops always smell wonderful to me too.

also computer and electronics places. and stationary/business supply places.

each have their own flavors of smells, none of them bad, just interesting.

 

dremel tool. and on high speed and light wood you can use a disk of heavy paper as a cut off wheel.

 

I think target has a concession stand like in a movie theater. Not very healthy fare...

 

Yes, Target has a smell that seems to be the same no matter what Target you go to. So, do retailers, and the mall. I kind of like outdoor malls for this reason.

 

Yea, but it's 10 times cheaper than a theater!

 

or from the clientele that's already a bottle in...

 

the hipforums server smells like old balls. time for an upgrade so we can get past these damn double posts.

 

Every 2nd hand store smells the same

 

Thats what I said, why is that. Why does the scent of everyone's old junk intermingle to create the exact same smell, every time...so strange

 

I might be wrong but I think it’s the clothing isle for the most part that’s doing it. Lots of stuff comes in dusty, and the fabric absorbs a lot of it. Just a theory.

 

you know how if you combine enough random paint colors together you get black? maybe if you combine enough random odors together you get salvation army.

 

Actually it's brown with the rare exception that black is used as much as all the other colors combined.

 

so is the thrift store smell.

 

These both seem like sound theories

 

Oh, like someone ironed dirty jeans?

 

A Quick Iron Of Worn Jeans Just Does Not Work......Not Only Do They Smell Whilst Ironing.....

They Emit That Very Same Stink When They Have Been Worn For Even A Few Minutes....



Cheers Glen.

 

Yes..thats an astute observation. You could get a job describing scents, if a job like that exists

 

Maybe Aeri should be a Sommelier.

Fixed.

 

Aeri?
Perfect
Or
She could write captions for perfume
