Why do luxury hotels smell so good?

This was a quiet good read tbh. I mean I am a workers child and never had a enough money and free time to care about expensive perfumes and smell, but I always recognized that smell is very strongly connected to the memory - much more than auditive and visual stimuli. It makes sense, that businesses exploit this.

Except they don’t? If you have a sensitive nose, all you need is for places to be clean and not smell bad. Most higher-priced hotels I have smelled have either smelled “normal” as expected, or if there were added scents, it was irritating.

Because there’s no poors stinking up the place.
