The way I read it, the scent is programmed from a set of pre-packaged chemicals. The smell you receive is an approximation, or at least as close as someone could make given what I'm sure is a limited palate of base scents. It's all an interesting idea, but I'm having a difficult time imagining something other than pure novelty that this could be used for, as long as the smell is simply a replica.

That's my biggest problem with the thing. It's a replica of a smell. This kind of ruins the whole concept to me. At first I was really interested, but once you realize that they haven't actually transmitted the smell itself...rather just a guesstimation at what it might smell like...it becomes (as you said) a novelty item.
