 fresh flowers in the lobby and sells candles and other gifts with the same scent. This scent then
 becomes part of the pleasant experience in the hotel. The hotel manager believes that after the
 hotel guests go home, whenever they smell this scent, they will remember their stay and want
 to return. It seems that he is right: since the hotel began using this special scent, the number of

 15  guests returning to the hotel has increased.

 IV  Other businesses use smell to influence customers to buy specific products. One example
 is a tea company that wanted to attract more customers. An advertising agency advised the
 company to add the scent of the tea to the packaging so that customers could smell the tea
 without opening the box. Soon their products became very popular.

 20  V  Some people object to the use of smell by businesses and advertising agencies. They
 claim that we can easily ignore advertisements that we hear or see but not advertisements that
 use smells. In fact, people are often not aware that they are being influenced by smells. Since
 it seems that scents will continue to be used by businesses, we should try to understand how

 they affect us. Then, we might be able to control their influence and maybe the next time our
 25  nose tells us to buy more, we will be able to refuse.
