The daily lemming

If you want some of Cinnabon's new scented wrapping paper ("This season, for a limited-time, Cinnabon is making the holidays even sweeter with the introduction of their new Cinnabon Scented Wrapping Paper – a unique gift wrap bundle that smells just like Cinnabon’s ooey-gooey Classic Cinnamon Roll"), probably best to order sooner rather than later. Two 25 sq ft rolls are $8.99 at Cinnabon.

The delicious smell of their favourite brekkie

Posted by Robin on 27 September 2025 8 Comments

As part of its ongoing mission to help guests sleep better, wake easier and never miss brekkie again, all Holiday Inn Express hotels across Australia and New Zealand, as well as participating hotels in Singapore, Thailand and Japan will now offer guests the chance to trial the exclusive in-room scent experience. The aptly named Breakfast Alarm Clock showcases one of the brand’s most loved and valuable hallmarks – free hot breakfast, anywhere, always – turning it from a promise into an unforgettable start to the day.

Guests who trial the Breakfast Alarm Clock can choose their preferred wake-up aroma and will be gently roused each morning by a diffuser-style scent alarm – no jarring beeps or blaring tunes, just the delicious smell of their favourite brekkie wafting through the room.

The daily lemming

Coming this August: limited edition rose-scented nail polish, in 10 colors, from Anna Sui. "Formulated with a fast-drying base, this polish delivers a long lasting film to ensure a smooth and shiny finish, without chipping or cracking. The bottle resembles the classic Anna Sui perfume bottle, complemented with a rounded brush. The nail colors have a fragrance of fresh roses." I don't know the price, but the last time they did these, they were $18 each. (The only color left from that last round is Emerald Green, $18 at Anna Sui.)

Scented bookmarks from Aftelier: "Rich with cultural and emotional associations of every kind, fragrances have the power to transport you to a different time and place―just like a good book. I created this set of four scented bookmarks―featuring the aromas of vetiver, geranium, frankincense, and ginger―to add a new olfactory dimension to the reading experience. These Biblioscents will be the perfect gift for every reader who seeks a sensual escape in books." Box of four (1.8" x7") bookmarks, $15 at Aftelier.
