The people who market the state of Michigan want people to know what the state has to offer, smell-wise.

Pure Michigan, the state's tourism campaign, made a room and body spray from the scents of a Michigan summer.

"We have a lot of lavender, you get an opportunity to go to the beach, there's a lot of wineries offered," said fragrance developer Tanya Thompson, founder of The Aroma Labs, a Michigan-based chain of stores where people can design their own scents.

"Scent in a sophisticated way impacts your prefrontal cortex. There's actually an olfactory bulb in there that it [connects to] mood, memory, emotion," Thompson said.

The sprays sell for $32 online. The product line started with summer but a fall scent, "HARVEST" and winter one, "FIRST SNOW," are planned for later in the year.
