Scented Dress

Admittedly, I'd be personally hesitant to don any article of clothing described as having "its own nervous system,"  but that doesn't mean I'm not slightly fascinated by the Smart Second Skin Dress.  If I'm interpreting the purple prose correctly ("magic wellness molecules"?  "rainbow symphony of aromas"?), cables throughout the dress will puff out the perfume of the wearer's choice in order to create a personal "smell bubble" around them - thereby improving their mood, enhancing their overall sensory experience, and making them smell good (and if you've ever ridden public transit, you know this can be a benefit not just to the wearer, but to us all). 

There's something intriguing about the synergy of fashion, mood and technology.  But  I'm a bit frightened they'll start outfitting perfume counter workers at the local department stores with these, and my holiday shopping experience will be "enhanced" by my being sensorily attacked by salespeople wearing clouds of cologne competing scent bubbles. - [Star C.
