PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI – NOVEMBER 17: A young girl holds her nose from the stench of dead bodies as members of a Haitian Ministry of Health body-collection team take away victims of the cholera epidemic on November 17, 2010 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. They collected 14 bodies from homes, the street and a hospital as Haiti’s cholera epidemic has killed more than 1,000 and sickened thousands. Unable to find other sites to dispose of the bodies they ended up at Titanyen, the site of the mass grave for the victims of the January earthquake, where, after negotiating with the local mayor, they were able to dump the bodies in anticipation of them being buried. Doctors say poor sanitary conditions after January’s earthquake made the country vulnerable to cholera, which is caused by bacteria transmitted through contaminated water or food.

It "sniffs" the chemical compounds that make you stink, and it ranks your smell on a scale of one to 10. If you want one though, you'll probably have to buy it from a Japanese website.
