Instead of being rudely awoken by the infernal bleeping of an alarm, how about being gently roused by the smell of fresh bread, or filtered coffee? The Osim Nioi makes no sound, emitting a choice of fragrances at the desired time instead.

The concept design by designer Alfie Lake, is intended to give you the best night’s sleep possible and a gentle, positive start to the day. It can emit a subtle lavender or rose fragrance in the night, to induce sweet dreams while you sleep, and a more stirring smell, like baking bread, in the morning when it’s time to wake. You just set the time normally and then push down the ‘smell canister’ you want to be woken by. We hope ‘full English breakfast’ will be an option.
