Trouble at the office? Try a perfumed printer

We initially feared that this item might be a joke, but then we thought it was just crazy enough to be true: a perfumed printer.

And why not? We've already seen aromatic phones, fragrant USB drives and even lavender-scented keypads. There's no reason a printer can't smell rosey too.

Sagem's appropriately named "Zen Cube" can provide a sea of cubicles with full-time aromatherapy. According to Fareastgizmos: "The perfume is diffused upon each printing (or receiving of a fax), with the activation of the ventilation system. The warm air expelled by the machine slowly and steadily diffuses the perfume in the office via the Zen Cube, thereby creating a new workplace atmosphere."

You even have a choice of six fragrances in three categories--"soothing, purifying and invigorating." But if none of them is to your liking, you can always be the office loner and have your own "USB Fragrance Oil Burner." Incense, anyone?
