Find an herb shop or health food store that carries pure essential oils, and get a bottle of peach. Put a tiny drop just below your nose (not in it!) and you'll be able to sniff peaches without looking like a horse with a feedbag ;@)
There are small aromatherapy units which you place a few drops of your oil in, and they vaporize it and disperse it through the room. You might try getting one for home and/or work, once you locate the peach oil.
