Hey, I love pleasing scents as much the next person, but I don’t think people are quite ready for an MP3 player that pumps odours through your earbuds. Nonetheless, a group of designers has come up with that very idea and dubbed it “Sweet Honey.” I highly doubt that you will see something like this on store shelves anytime soon, but there are plenty of crazy stupid aromatherapy gadgets out there already—so you never know.

Sure, there’re plenty of gadgets to soothe your troubled soul with smells, lights and sounds— but why buy a bunch of these, when the LTK2000 does it all in one? Once the Therapy Station has calmed your ears with 24 relaxing sound options, a pop-up ring of bright LEDs tries to banish those SAD blues. Aromatherapy scents will waft around you from its built-in heater, while an anion generator cleans up the air. Strangely its designers missed tackling all five senses by omitting a massager and chocolate dispenser, but hey ho. Available for around US$395 in Korea at first, we guess it’ll be over here soon enough. [Technabob]
Aroma Waker is a not-so-cunningly-named alarm clock that wakes you by emitting aromatherapy scents at a preset time. Its actually got two heated scent pots, so you can have a second dose of smells later in the day— perhaps to remind you it’s lunchtime, to feed the cat, or a “warm welcome from a hard day’s work” as designers Abiogenesis suggest. So, fragrant Giz readers, how would you like your olfactory glands to be aroused this morning?
Geek’s who eat geek food, like that super-pizza from last week, and who are too busy at their terminals to shower, could likely make use of this USB aroma oil heater. Green comes with peppermint oil, and red comes with rose. At $7, only a little more costly than a can of lysol. galleryPost('USBThumbDiffuser', 4, 'USB Air Freshener'); [USBGeek via TechnaBob] More »
