The Scent Rhythm Watch Tells Time By Releasing Fragrances

Zothecula writes "Glancing at a clock face in one form or another has been the de facto way to measure the passage of time. Aisen Caro Chacin though, is exploring a different perspective. She wants to give everyone the ability to tell time using their noses. Her chemical-based watch called the Scent Rhythm emits specially-designed fragrances in minute doses, in tune with circadian cycle of the human body. You get a fragrance of coffee in the morning, the smell of money in the afternoon, a relaxing whiskey scent in the evening, and a soothing chamomile fragrance at night. More than being merely pleasant, each chemically-supplemented scent aims to induce action appropriate to the time of day; the caffeine in the coffee scent for example, aims to trigger the person into being more active."

I would smash it

I don't want to smell other people's scent watches all the time. What if everyone had one? I wonder if you could play a joke and replace the coffee scent with fart scent.

Bull
Fucking
Shit

This submission takes the cake for pointless slashvertisement that insults even the most advanced dimwitted slashdotter's meager intelligence. Fucking low.

No need for this

I already have scents that tell me the time:

- Morning farts tell me it's time to get up
- The company's secretary's overpowering patchouli perfume tells me it's past 10 am (and that she's late to work again)
- Greasy odors from the fish and chips next door tell me it's almost noon
- Beer burps from my bro tell me it's past 4pm
- Burnt smells from my wife's cooking tell me it's almost 8 pm (and that I'm not all that hungry)
- The faint smell of vaseline tells me it's time for bed (and that missus is horny)

Sed pecunia non olet ?

the smell of money in the afternoon

But... money has no smell !??

Searching for the translation for the french "L'argent n'a pas d'odeur", it seems the english equivalent has no widespread use? Anyway, I just learned that the expression dates back from almost two thousand years ago.
