De-stinkify those feet with lemon-scented sox

Filed under: Accessories, Fragrance, Fashion, Beauty, Makeup


Anyone who works a job that requires you to be on your feet all day long can verify that -- no matter how clean and odor-free you usually are -- 8 or 9 hours of standing or walking can make your feet smell like rotting death. Apparently, a few of Portugal's brightest minds have set to work correcting this embarrassing problem.

A team from Porto University, led by Alirio Rodrigues, has developed a lemony fresh micro-capsule that can be woven into your clothing. The tiny capsules of perfume are similar to those embedded into "scratch and sniff" stickers, except they're not made with toxic formaldehyde. Really, it's hard to believe that scented clothing hasn't been done before. Where were 'scratch and sniff' socks back in the days of Hypercolor?

So far, the team is focusing on lemon socks, but we could totally go for some piña colada undershirts.
