It’s called Sensorwake, it promises to wake you up from sleep with pleasant smells instead of harsh sounds, and it may be one of the most untenable gadgets you’ll find at CES 2016.
Instead of emitting a harsh beep or a merry melody, it diffuses scents in order to rouse you from your sleep. Available for pre-order now, it’s expected to ship in June 2016 and to hit retail stores in November 2016. It costs $109 in the US
The alarm clock works by using a cartridge, similar to how some plug-in air fresheners work. When the alarm goes off, it diffuses the scent for three whole minutes.
According to Sensorwake, you should be woken up by wafts of croissants (or whatever your aroma of choice is) within two minutes. After that, if you haven’t rolled out of bed to turn it off, it’ll beep like the annoying kind of alarm you tried to avoid in the first place.
In total there are fifteen scents, including coffee, money and mint. Each cartridge has a lifespan of thirty uses and can be purchased on the Sensorwake website. They cost $10 for two, so that’s two months worth of smelly wake-up calls, and they’re 100 percent recyclable.
