Can a deeply inhaled fragrance ease your anxiety? The makers of calmspace ($14.99) are counting on it, and there's certainly appeal to quieting one's nerves with organic essential oils (the primary fragrances are vanilla and lavender) as opposed to popping a pill. Calmspace is being promoted particularly for those who suffer from claustrophobia, but we could see it being applied for any number of anxiety-heightening occasions: when the airplane you're riding in starts shuddering from turbulence; while driving between two 18-wheelers in your compact car; or minutes before taking the stage to speak before a roomful of VIPs. The scents come in lipstick-sized roll-top packages-just unscrew the cap and breathe deeply. calm-space.com.
