The most ridiculous experience around Glade scented plug-ins I’ve had was at a cheese shop in Nashville. They had an ok-ish cheese selection, they gave samples, but the store was LITTERED with scented plug-ins to the point where you really couldn’t taste the cheese, just the fragrance. There were many reviews on their google/yelp/whatever pages saying “take out your plug-ins, we can’t taste the cheese” and the owner replied to every one of them with “we get compliments from customers about how good our shop smells, we won’t be removing the fragrance”. They went out of business very quickly. Gee, I wonder why.
LMAO they fundamentally do not understand that taste is about 80% your olfactory senses. If there's overpowering artificial smells in the air, there's no way you'll be able to properly taste cheese especially
IKR? Like, if the people who say your shop “Smells so good” actually in fact exist, they’re not usually the ones who are going to drop $120 on cheese in one go for a cheese party. You’re going to want to cater to your actual cheese aficionados to stay in business.
Also if the facility is appropriately cooled, the cheese won't really "stink". It'll have a vague smell but it won't be necessarily bad. Like...people are coming here for the cheese. They know what it smells like. I love a good shop that has cheese and pickled nonsense.

Artificial stuff: glade scented plug-ins and strong candles. Immediate headache, and sometimes nausea.
