Add in the “active perfuming system” which atomizes a Mercedes-specific fragrance that can be manually adjusted for intensity (or switched off entirely), and you’ve got the freshest interior this side of a Four Seasons spa day.

You know, I actually do not like these pumped scent interiors. Candles are a bit different because the throw goes only so far, but this sounds like this small underground mall in Monte Carlo, just off the main Square – it’s got scent (something super fresh/aquatic) pumped through it, and it’s really annoying. I suppose if you worked there you’d become anosmic, but as someone walking through, I found it really off-putting.
I would not like it either! Can hardly stand to go into scented stores like Abercrombie, and wish not so many hotel lobbies had gotten on the bandwagon….
Abercrombie is dreadful! You can smell it so far off the actual store it’s painful. I actually can’t go into LUSH stores, although they aren’t scenting them in that way, the smells of all the stacked unwrapped soaps and bubble balls are so strong you can smell it several stores down as well.
Working at Abercrombie can’t be good for the lungs. Ack. And know what you mean about Lush, but I like the products so I go in there anyway 🙂
Abercrombie is like the Yankee Candle of clothing stores. You can smell it farther away than Sephora.

A Mercedes-specific fragrance?
I assume that means they commissioned a fragrance (or series of fragrances).
