Abstract: A writing instrument includes a writing portion having a conventional writing implement and an aroma carrier separated from direct contact with a user. The aroma carrier is configured to allow release of the aroma to the user. The aroma carrier is separated from the writing portion by a divider that prevents fluid communication between the aroma carrier and the writing portion. The writing instrument may disperse any preferred aroma from the aroma carrier.
