They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but how many do you get for a scent? I suppose that it all depends on the smell. I’m sure that a skunk’s spray would only be worth a few unpleasant words, while the scent of perfume on a letter would be worth considerably more. Unfortunately getting the desired smell onto a piece of paper requires one to actually spray perfume onto it. Unless you’ve got a fancy Aromatherapy pen, that is.

I really can’t say for sure why these were actually created. The Swiss Aromatherapy Pen is a standard ballpoint on one end, while the other has a roller ball that dispenses one of six different aromas. Since it has the word aromatherapy right in the name, I would venture a guess that you’d use this on your own paper to feel the affects yourself. Perhaps you would just hold it close to your nose and inhale. However, I see this being used by teenage girls when composing notes to their boyfriends.

If you’re interested in spreading a few good smells in your office, this Aromatherapy pen should do the trick. The scents include rose, mint, grapefruit, eucalyptus, ginger, lavender and orange. The pen itself will set you back $50, while the refills will cost you $28.
