The Osim Nioi alarm clock is unlike other clocks which rely on sound to wake us up. It uses a choice of up to three fragrances, like the aroma of baking bread, to help us get up in the morning.
Unlike the Wake up to Bacon clock featured by Trendhunter before, this clock can also put you to sleep, as lavender cartridges can be used to provide a soothing scent conducive to sleep. Drifting off slowly to sleep or stirring to awakeness is much more gentle with a scent alarm clock than a traditionally noisy one.
Scent cartridges are easily popped into the slot but will only be activated if the cartridge is homed in.
