Febreze's 'Destinations Collection' Takes You Around The World

This "travel gadget" isn't easily adaptable to life on the road, but it may remind you of places you've been or places you want to go. Febreze's new Destinations Collection includes three scents designed to mimic "exotic" (their words) locales. Perfect for vacation nostalgia or if the economy has you forced into a "staycation."

Aromatherapy Smells Like Travel Comfort

If there's one thing that's hard to forget when you're on the road, it's how bad other people smell. Chinatown fish markets and sulfurous hot springs are one thing, but 43A's apparent allergy to showering is completely different.

Somehow, when you're in a particularly malodorous spot, the plethora of scented products typically sold under the umbrella of "aromatherapy" start to make a little sense.

Which brings us to the Cocoon Aroma-Therapy Travel Pillow. Provided its lavender scent (a typical soporific, or so we've heard) isn't of the cloying-candle variety, it could be quite pleasant to cuddle up next to on a long flight. At 13"x7" it would fit in a typical carry-on, so it wouldn't pick up any detritus from being carried through airports. And best of all, no inflating! But how long would the scent last?

We'll hold off on the travel pillow for now but we're keeping it in mind for later. Maybe it'd be faster just to soak ourselves in the stuff -- how much could a pillow do?
