And it's not considered a deceptive trade practice by the FTC, at least not in any blanket sense.
Like PM_Mama00 said, what you described is just plain ol' marketing.

I agree with PM_Mama00 too, but the title of the article was "Subliminal Advertising". A lot of the information I posted from what I read in the article can be associated as subliminal too. A lot of it is based on assumptions, like I posted earlier. I think the perfume labels are marketing, but the feel of certain products are based on some consumers assumptions.
