The Design

About Noble Perfumer Xemelgos Perfumados

Noble Perfumer é un par de xemelgos perfumados deseñados para o vestiario formal masculino. Cada xemelgo garda no seu interior un pequeno anaco de madeira bruta pulida, dentro dunha caixa de aceiro inoxidable de cor prata. O perfume aplícase por spray ou en gotas sobre a madeira, e os patróns ocos na tapa permiten que o aroma se espalle. A tapa ábrese mediante un peche magnético, de xeito que a madeira pode recargarse ou substituírse cando se prefira outra fragrancia. O aroma dura de un a dous días. Como o perfume non se aplica directamente sobre a camisa, evítanse as manchas e a mestura de aromas. Tanto a tapa como a madeira poden fabricarse por encargo.

Unique Properties: Scented Cufflinks is different from other cufflinks as it can add a piece of wood inside. Simple change the fragrance with the day you dress up. This design can make the scent last longer and perfume can be refill on wood if the scent faded out. To change the perfume, just simply change another piece of wood. The design of Scented Cufflinks can also avoid shirts yellowish and scents overlapped because no need to spray on the shirts or suits.
Dimensions & Packaging: The size of a cufflink is 22Hmm 22Wmm X 20Dmm (diameter is 22mm). The wood is in 12.5mm diameter and 3mm thick. Both the cufflink cover and the wood can be custom-made designed. There is a flexibility to apply the designs from customers with different logos, icons, symbols, patterns or alphabets.

Production Technology: Cufflinks are stainless steel in sliver color. It can be opened with magnet closure button. Wood will be polished raw wood to express luxury image. Both the cufflink cover and the wood can be custom designed. Hollow out patterns on the cufflink cover to emit the scent thoroughly. Initials or simple symbols can be applied the laser cut technology to ensure finest design. Patterns can also craved lightly on the wood with laser.
Design Challenge: The challenge is Scented Cufflinks is a new creation in the market. It is hard to find the exact information from the Internet. And it is hard to find cufflink factory to provide a designed design of Scented Cufflinks. Meanwhile, laser technology is tested many times since it is ensure to be craved lightly on the wood to ensure no burn smell on the wood.
Research: Since I have over 10-year experiences on professional tailor of men's accessory. With the communications with my customers, I know that customers like cufflinks in sliver color and stainless steel. And they like custom-made design. Since perfume is a new category to me. I tried to explore more information from Internet about perfume, such as the perfume notes, olfactory family, perfume history, usage and etc. And Scented Cufflinks applied suitable features in it.
Inspiration: Perfume can be added onto wood in Scented Cufflinks to emit scent. Concept combined cufflinks and perfume together. This design is inspired when people spray perfume on wrists with the area near cufflinks.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2019 in Hong Kong and finished in February 2021 in Hong Kong, and will be launched in May 2021.
Operation Flow: For the first use of Scented Cufflinks, open the cover of the cufflinks. Spray the perfume with 5-10cm distant onto the wood or use dropper to add 2-3 drops fragrance essential. The scent can be lasted 1-2 days depending on the concentration of the perfume. Refill the perfume when the scent faded out. To change the perfume, just simply change another piece of wood. After used, use dry cotton to clean up the cufflinks to avoid the scents overlapped.
