英國斯勞火車站安裝了一臺出售瓶裝夏日芬芳空氣的販賣機，意在喚起通勤者的假日記憶。
A hundred bottles were filled with distinctive holiday fragrances, including freshly cut grass, BBQ, sun cream and sea air, which were revealed as the nation's favorites. Situated in the station's ticket office, the novelty vending machine invited commuters to enjoy a free pick-me-up on their way to work.

OnePoll carried out a survey in July 2015 and found that 69 percent of 2,000 people consider the smell of freshly cut grass to be the most evocative summertime fragrance. While 40 percent said they prefer the smell of a good BBQ, 39 percent enjoy the distinctive fragrance of sun cream and 38 percent find sea air to be the perfect summertime cure.

Michael Callaghan, of Holiday Autos, the company who commissioned the survey, said: 'We want to inject as much fun, freedom and frivolity into holidays as possible by giving people back that holiday feeling and something to smile about – we think the Smells of Summer vending machine really does just that. It's likely that we will want to take our newest invention on the road and bring some summer sunshine to commuters around the country.'
