Many folks thought South Korean inventor Hyuk-ho Kwon was joking in 1999 when he started selling pine-, lavender- and peppermint-scented suits, each soaked in a chemical containing micro-capsules that emit a smell when rubbed.

The aroma stays in the suit through 15 to 20 dry cleanings, Kwon says.

Now, Kwon's company, Kolon International, claims to have exported more than 4,000 suits. The self-perfuming suit has yet to catch on in the United States, but two other South Korean companies have begun selling self-perfuming attire.

6. Scented Disc Players: Want to play smells like you'd play music? With ScentStories — a device that resembles a CD player — you just insert discs with half-hour preprogrammed smelling tours.

Insert "Barefoot on the Shore" and you'll be surrounded by the smells of salty ocean air and palm trees. The aromas of wildflowers come and go, as if you were really walking past blooms along the beach.

The $35 device comes with five different discs, allowing you to "Explore a Mountain Trail" with honeysuckle and fir trees or "Stroll Through a Garden" with lilac and roses.

Perhaps future ScentStories discs will allow you to breathe in the sweet smell of a factory-mint Ferrari with a piping hot box from Krispy Kreme in the back seat.

7. Smells Like Time for Work: Now, you can really wake up and smell the coffee. The Progression Wake Up Clock coaxes you out of bed with the smell of fresh java, just when you want it most.

Just be warned: This $50 clock isn't a coffee maker, and when you figure out that you've still got to brew up a pot, it might smell like a good time to go back to bed.
