YOU SMELL MAIL!


There’s a new alternative to those annoying audio alerts emitted from smartphones. The ‘Scentee’ plugs into your headphone jack and releases a chosen scent whenever there’s a new email or Facebook alert. As well as filling the room with an aroma, the gizmo also glows, thanks to built-in LED lights. Scent capsules offer 100 bursts of your preferred fragrance before they need replacing. Users can already pick from rose, strawberry, coffee, lavender, curry, and buttered baked potato, but new fragrances – including bacon – are on the way. The $35-device is already available in Japan and is soon launching internationally. (And you thought beeps and buzzes were annoying? Imagine entering a room full of these gadgets … who died in here?)
