They say: A new line in chewing gums and candy could leave you smelling of roses - for 6 hours afterwards at least .

Japanese firm Kanebo has developed confectionery containing rose or vanilla-scented chemicals that the body starts secreting 30 minutes after the treats are eaten .

Takao Tsuda at Nagoya Industrial University found the most effective ingredients to be geraniol, extracted from roses, and vanillic aldehyde from vanilla .

Something of an anti-(garlic/beans) treatment?
