'Scent Drive' and 'Aroma USB' Drive Away Objectionable Odors

by Warren Riddle on August 15, 2009 at 12:59 PM

Numerous companies have been offering plug-in air fresheners for some time, but now the little therapeutic aroma dispensers are merging with the world of high-tech gadgetry. Aroma USB offers interchangeable fragrance cartridges (which plug into USB ports) that can emit a "calming" lavender scent, "energizing" orange aromas, or the fragrance of lemongrass, which apparently promotes "clarity."

The colorful plug-ins should help office workers with stinky neighbors, but they might not be marketable to hardcore techies, since they don't have internal memory. To that end, Scent Drive sells a USB air freshener that actually does allow for storage. Judging from the lack of available Scent Drive merchandise, the drives are quite popular. That's exactly what cloistered and secluded bloggers and programmers need: another reason not to shower or change clothes. Great. [From: Pop Gadget]
