SC Johnson released a Glade product in August directly for tweens, or girls 8 to 12 years old, and teenage girls. Its Scented Oil Light Show plugs into walls and beams bright colors and scents like Berry Burst, Watermelon Rush and Vanilla & Cream.

— from "Sensing Opportunity in Dormitory Air", an article in The New York Times about air fresheners marketed to young people.

In Japan, meanwhile, luxury toilet paper is de rigueur. Japanese rolls are routinely scented, extra-thick, aloe-moistened, strictly "virgin" (unrecycled), patterned, or—the latest trick—infused with pineapple enzymes to counteract odor.
