The delicious smell of their favourite brekkie

Posted by on 8 Comments

As part of its ongoing mission to help guests sleep better, wake easier and never miss brekkie again, all Holiday Inn Express hotels across Australia and New Zealand, as well as participating hotels in Singapore, Thailand and Japan will now offer guests the chance to trial the exclusive in-room scent experience. The aptly named Breakfast Alarm Clock showcases one of the brand’s most loved and valuable hallmarks – free hot breakfast, anywhere, always – turning it from a promise into an unforgettable start to the day.

Guests who trial the Breakfast Alarm Clock can choose their preferred wake-up aroma and will be gently roused each morning by a diffuser-style scent alarm – no jarring beeps or blaring tunes, just the delicious smell of their favourite brekkie wafting through the room.

Coming this August: limited edition rose-scented nail polish, in 10 colors, from Anna Sui. "Formulated with a fast-drying base, this polish delivers a long lasting film to ensure a smooth and shiny finish, without chipping or cracking. The bottle resembles the classic Anna Sui perfume bottle, complemented with a rounded brush. The nail colors have a fragrance of fresh roses." I don't know the price, but the last time they did these, they were $18 each. (The only color left from that last round is Emerald Green, $18 at Anna Sui.)

Scented bookmarks from Aftelier: "Rich with cultural and emotional associations of every kind, fragrances have the power to transport you to a different time and place―just like a good book. I created this set of four scented bookmarks―featuring the aromas of vetiver, geranium, frankincense, and ginger―to add a new olfactory dimension to the reading experience. These Biblioscents will be the perfect gift for every reader who seeks a sensual escape in books." Box of four (1.8" x7") bookmarks, $15 at Aftelier.

I'm not sure if this is anybody's lemming? Just in case: the ASUS Fragrance Mouse. "ASUS today announced ASUS Fragrance Mouse, a stylish and ergonomic mouse that’s available in distinctive Iridescent White or Rose Clay finishes, and boasting an internal fragrance compartment with a refillable vial for aromatic oils. The mouse features PTFE feet and adjustable DPI for smooth glides and precise control. Its durable switches boast a 10-million-click lifespan. Plus, 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth® technologies ensure seamless dual-mode connectivity." I don't think it's actually for sale yet but presumably it is coming soon. Now you know.

Made of cedarwood, they are fragranced with the smell of gingerbread and come in a gift-ready letterpress printed presentation box." On markdown, $10 for six at Cotton & Crete. (And you can check out all the other fragrances at the Imogen Owen website. I found this brand via Aedes, but they sold out before I had a chance to post.)
