Smell: The intoxicating and sweet scent is so pervasive that it carries out onto the streets, so passersby know they can find a store close by.

Hearing: No music is playing within this cosmetic brand’s shops, but there is an atmosphere of a ‘market,’ with the salespeople talking a lot and actively promoting products.

Touch: The self-service products are arranged in many bowls that invite you to dip your hand inside. Their packages are smooth and natural, and the products themselves have unusual textures.

Taste: Products are visually and olfactorily associated with food, resembling creamsicle, chocolate ice cream, etc.
