- An article in the soon to be released New Haven Journal of
Medicine discusses the psychology and treatment of a middle-aged
lady with a severe attraction to the fabric freshener 'Febreeze'.
The 52 year old was so addicted to the fragrance of the product
that over the years she exhibited a psychological need for the
odor so intensely that she carried the product everywhere she
went. "She was using 3 containers worth of the product every day,
spraying indiscriminately" stated Dr. Johnsen, one of the members
of the clinical treatment group. "Over a period of 32 months we
slowly weaned the patient off her dependency by replacing the 'Febreeze'
with an odorless placebo, water in a Febreeze bottle." Officials at Proctor & Gamble has no
comment pending review of the article.
