Fearless said:And probably it's one or two sorts of candy that tickles your imagination. Maybe it's some biological or psychological imprint of a candyshop you visited as a child? Who knows, I am only speculating here.
Fearless said:But maybe some candy-chains have some distinct signature-flavour-odour to their shops to lure customers in there. I think that such scents could be very bad when produced, because synthesizing complex molecules like that and in abundance will require a great deal of energy and very complex rawmaterials.

turbo-1 said:Your "candy store" smell could easily be emanating from a craft shop that makes scented candles. Those scents are very powerful and they persist in the air. There used to be a candle shop about a mile from where I worked, and I used to have to roll up my windows and shut off all ventilation until I got past it. On my motorcycle, I had to hold my breath for a few tenths of a mile to avoid having a medical emergency. It was bad.
It's easy to mold candles (very low-tech), and it is often done in small batches, to vary the colors and odors.misgfool said:This is possible. There are some candle shops there, but I don't know is there any manufacturing.
The specific chemicals found in candyshop odour can vary, but common ones include vanillin, ethyl maltol, and benzaldehyde. These chemicals are responsible for the sweet, fruity, and nutty scents associated with candyshops.
In general, candyshop odour is not considered harmful to human health. However, some individuals may be sensitive to certain chemicals found in the odour and may experience symptoms such as headaches or nausea. It is important to properly ventilate candyshops to ensure the odour does not become too strong.
One way to investigate the chemical composition of candyshop odour is through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. This technique separates and identifies the different chemicals present in a sample of the odour.
While candyshop odour itself is not hazardous, the chemicals found in the odour may have potential hazards if they are inhaled in large quantities. For example, some chemicals may be irritants to the respiratory system. It is important to properly ventilate candyshops to prevent any potential hazards.
In general, candyshop odour is not considered harmful to the environment. However, if the odour is released in large quantities, it may contribute to air pollution. It is important for candyshops to properly manage and dispose of any chemicals used in creating the odour to minimize its impact on the environment.
