You walk out of Exit D of the Central MTR station on a hot summer’s day, your airways struggling to take in the thick, waterlogged air. As you stroll down the street, a double-decker bus expels a small cloud of black, toxic exhaust into your face.
As a seasoned Hongkonger, this doesn’t phase you. But you take another step and you soon find yourself engulfed in another cloud of unnatural airborne particles… Abercrombie & Fitch’s famous “Fierce” cologne, which is blasted from the flagship store’s entrances on Pedder Street and Theatre Lane.
Do you breathe in a lungful and relish the refreshing scent, a welcome break from the smoggy air? Or do you cough, wheeze, gag, and struggle to hold your breath until you’re out of the danger zone? Or do you not care at all?
