Wake up to the smell of the seaside!

There’s something about scent that’s more efficient at waking someone up than anything else. Having the sun shining in your eye or an alarm clock ringing can jolt you into wakefulness but you’re still bound to be groggy. Smell a nice hot cup of coffee or the ocean breeze and your body and your mind both wake up at the same time!

The Sensorwake employs light, sound, and aroma to wake you in under 2 minutes. Using proprietary aroma cartridges that last for over a month, the Sensorwake can get you out of bed by wafting fragrances in the room. Aside from the regular espresso coffee, the Sensorwake even comes with aromas like Apple-Cinnamon, Peppermint, Fresh Cut Grass, the Seaside and more. Simply slide the cartridge in and set your alarm timer and the Sensorwake gently blinks a light while playing soothing music along with filling the room with fragrances that immediately get you out of bed… although with fragrances like chocolate or espresso, you’re going to wake up with quite the appetite!

Moodo’s smart fragrance box adds a hint of vanilla to your home

It's no secret that not every Kickstarter or Indiegogo project becomes a reality. Often times, these ideas get crowdfunded but don't get turned into an actual product, but thankfully that wasn't the case for the Moodo smart air freshener. The project...

Bigfoot Air Freshener Doesn’t Actually Smell Like Sasquatch

If you’ve ever encountered a sasquatch, you know how rancid and rank all that damp fur can get. What you need to do next time you see one is hang one of these Bigfoot air fresheners around his neck to try and cover up his odiferous ways. Now you have a bigfoot that smells like wet dog, old cheese stuck in his beard, AND pine! Problem solved!

What’s that you say? You haven’t been able to find bigfoot? Then buy one of these and hang it on your rearview mirror. Your car could use a freshening now that the new car scent has worn off and you’ve dropped a supersize quantity of french fries into the edge of your seat over the years. Grab one today from Archie McPhee for just $3.50 and stop stinking up the place!

Moodo Smart Air Freshener: Select Scents with Your Phone

So apparently, smart air fresheners are a thing now. Forget those Glade Plug-ins. Forget opening a window. Moodo is designed to customize your home’s scent whenever you want. It’s kind of like a Keurig machine for your nose.


Moodo is basically a diffusion machine that will blow air through up to four aromatic capsules at a time, each one full of differently-scented crystals. The capsules will come in various scents, like “Precious Spices,” “Eucalyptus Nights,” and “Sandalwood.” You can use the companion app to blend each of the scents to create a unique smell. You can also buy pre-set scent families.

If that isn’t enough, you can set “fragrance playlists” that will change your room’s smell over the course of an evening. You can find Moodoo on Indiegogo, where they are raising funds to begin production. A pledge of at least $149(USD) will get you a Moodoo device and four scent capsules, though there’s a special “early bird” version that gives you an extra four capsules i

Homesick Candles Let You Relive Your Home State’s Smell

Everyone gets homesick from time to time. A part of you will always miss the place where you grew up. So these Homesick Candles can bring back the memories by filling the room with your home state’s unique scents. Although some of the scent combos are questionable, your state’s fragrance may bring back some fond memories.

Texas, for instance, is the scent of leather, cotton, and sage. Washington is cherry, coffee, and rain, and Georgia is sweet tea and peach.

They don’t have all of the states yet; only 27 out of 50. They say that the New Jersey candle smells like the New Jersey Shore, although how they got the smell of rusty syringes and hair gel, I have no idea. I kid. I’m sure it smells nice.

Each hand-poured candle burns for 60 to 80 hours and comes in a soda can-shaped glass. Homesick Candles are currently on sale for $29.95(USD) each, a savings of $5 off the regular price.

Disney Scented Candles Smell Like the Haunted Mansion

When I was about ten, my parents took my brother and I to Disney. He was about five and we got into this argument in the elevator of the Haunted Mansion about if the costumed figure standing there was real or a mannequin. Somehow, my brother gets the idea that the best way to settle the argument is to punch the standing figure in the balls. I won that argument, because it was a real guy (with really sore balls).

Anthology Candles has some new scents that are supposed to remind you of Disneyland. One of the scents is Haunted Mansion. It is supposed to smell like musty carpets, dusty furniture, graveyard grass, and flowers. No word on slight hints of ball punch vomit.

They also make Soarin’, it’s supposed to smell like the Soarin’ Over California ride, which is to say Redwood Trees, Cedar Trees, Salty Ocean Mist, Orange Blossoms. They also offer scents that are supposed to smell like Disney churros and other theme park aromas.

The candles sell $16 each or $45 for a three pack. Apparently, they were so popular the Etsy maker sold out and had to close shop while they make more.

A Better Looking Scent

Car accessory company SteamEngine’s perspective on the automotive air freshener is that it should work much in the same way as a high quality speaker; with an enveloping and consistent aroma. The resulting form is speaker-like and works with the car’s ventilation system to distribute scents evenly. In aluminum alloy, beech wood and Alcantara, it blends in seamlessly with high-end interiors.

This Fabric Permanently Smells Like Whisky

I don’t know about you, but I have always dreamed of being able to smell like whiskey 24/7. Today is the day when dreams come true. The Heriot Watt University’s School of Textiles and Design teamed up with Harris Tweed and Johnny Walker (who else?) to develop a fabric that permanently smells like Johnny Walker Black scotch whisky.

This should go over really well in traffic stops, parent/teacher meetings, conference rooms at work, etc.

The tweed carries aromas of rich malt, golden vanilla, red fruit and dark chocolate tones and has been designed to reflect the colors of the whisky ingredients. The scent is layered into the fabric throughout the finishing process and is permanently imbued in the tweed that will not go off even after dry cleaning.

This is all part of their plan to make sure that thrift stores smell like booze by the year 2040 isn’t it?

That second image is just weird. The guy looks like he’s channeling the woman from Outlander. Apparently he’s just ripped the kilt off some other dude and he’s just kinda having a victory drink. Whatever floats your whisky soaked boat, I guess.

I say, if you want to smell like booze all the time, just drink it.
