Smells too good to be true? It probably is

A new gift line of 19 aromatherapy candles with such names as "Panic Attack", "Quick Fix" and "Chill Out" has been introduced by Aromatherapy Interventions, a Newport Beach, US-based company.

"The candles are based in serious aromacology, the science of scent," says John McKee, company ceo.

"We just had a little fun with it," he added.

Citing Frankincense as an example, McKee noted the scent has long been associated with inner peace. "We recommend it for unfounded panic attacks."

The "Panic Attack" candle promises "Aromatherapy for general fears of job loss, computer viruses, blind dates and weapons of mass destruction."

"Unwedded Bliss" is scented with fig leaf and lime, "Birthday Acceptance" with essence of sandalwood and patchouli, and "Workaholic" is a mint and citrus blend devoted to those who'd like "to work 24 hours a day, 8 days a week."

Now, if only they could find one for "Incredibly Busy Project Manager" or "Spending Too Much Time In The Lab" we'd all be happy!
