Anyone remember DigiScents around 2000? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISmell . I knew their marketing manager (who was married to the CEO, I think) pretty well. 

Nostalgia: I was hanging out with them when I met then-Mayor Jerry Brown in Oakland at some rah-rah tech event. Someone near me asked him to become the mayor of the nearby Vallejo next. "No way, man," he said. "That's heavy lifting."
