Grand Central Gains Holiday Scent with Bath & Body Works

New York City's subway often has strong smells. These smells can be from industry and people using the trains. But one station has a new, different smell during the holidays.

The Grand Central station smells like vanilla and pine now. This new smell is part of an ad for a store. Bath & Body Works is putting the scent on the 42nd Street platform.

Many people do not notice the things that spread the smell. They are on the walls and above the platform. The store will use many pounds of scent before the end of the month.

One person said the new smell is better than the normal smell. Other people also like the new Christmas smell. Some people think it smells like fabric softener, which is also a pleasant smell.

The city is testing new ways to get money for the subways. They tested this idea before to check if it was safe. The store chose a popular holiday smell for this project in Grand Central station.
