I do understand the idea Raymo ... There are lots of things employed in marketing ..we would turn on the hot plate in a house open for inspection and place a few drops of vanilla essence on it to give off a homely baking smell ...one American sales trainer advocated giving folk a very hot cup of coffee so they would need to stay longer in the house Did it work I dont know but I remember reading a lot on marketing and it was rather deep and somewhat sinister.
