The first whiff of air freshener at the always-heaving IFC Mall in Hong Kong sends me to a serene place. I don’t know what brand the mall uses; it’s certainly not the $6.99 variety I buy from my local drugstore. But the scent tells me that, as long as I’m on the premises, the world is a more enchanting, calm space, even if I’m surrounded by hundreds of shoppers. This mall represents more than just commerce; it’s a gateway into the city itself.
IFC houses enough
