Ever since smoking was prohibited in restaurants, bars, and clubs, undesirable smells that were previously masked by cigarette smoke became noticeable. This opens up opportunities to improve the dance club environment by introducing pleasant ambient scents that mask the unwanted odors and to allow competing clubs to differentiate themselves. A field study was conducted at three dance clubs using a 3 × 3 Latin square design with pre- and post-measurements of no-scent control conditions. The three scents tested were orange, seawater, and peppermint. These scents were shown to enhance dancing activity and to improve the evaluation of the evening, the evaluation of the music, and the mood of the visitors over no added scent. However, no significant differences were found between the three scents.

环境气味能否增强夜生活体验？

自从餐馆、酒吧和俱乐部禁止吸烟以来，以前被香烟烟雾掩盖的难闻气味变得明显。这为改善舞蹈俱乐部环境提供了机会，通过引入令人愉快的环境气味来掩盖不需要的气味，并允许竞争俱乐部区分自己。使用 3 × 3 拉丁方设计在三个舞蹈俱乐部进行了一项实地研究，对无气味控制条件进行了前后测量。测试的三种气味是橙色、海水和薄荷。这些气味被证明可以增强舞蹈活动并改善对晚上的评价、对音乐的评价，以及在没有添加气味的情况下参观者的情绪。然而，三种气味之间没有发现显着差异。
