Edible Deodorant Tastes Sweet, Makes You Smell Like Roses

Hey there! A treat to see you today! How's it going, eh? There's a fresh pot of coffee waiting for you right next to the tray of virtual goodies with that heavenly aroma. Speaking of aromas, there's nothing quite like standing on a bus or in an elevator next to someone with B. O. Phew! Well, now, they're making deodorant candy. Hey...it's about time!

Deo Perfume Candy is a new product...an edible deodorant that makes you smell like fresh roses from a stunningly beautiful valley in Bulgaria.

Actually, the concept has been around for some time, but food company Beneo is finally introducing it on the US market, in the form of Deo Perfume Candy. Humans have known about the connection between what we eat and what we smell like for a while, but it was a group of Japanese researchers who discovered that eating geraniol makes people smell sweet.

There was even a chewing gum called Otoko Kaoru (“man scent”) launched years ago, but it didn’t really catch on and it was soon discontinued.

Now Beneo has teamed up with Bulgarian confectioner Alpi to create Deo, a special candy that will apparently turn you into a walking air-freshener for up to six hours.

“Geraniol is a natural antioxidant and its fragrance, once consumed as a candy, leaves the body through its pores, creating a naturally sweet smell that can last for hours,”. The company recommends one serving size for a person weighing 145 pounds.

Now this is what science should be all about, don't'cha think? Making products that benefit people...or those around them!

See ya, eh!
