About Noble Perfumer Scented Cufflinks
Noble Perfumer is a pair of scented cufflinks designed for men's formal wear. Each cufflink holds a small piece of polished raw wood inside a stainless steel case in silver colour. Perfume is sprayed or dropped onto the wood, and hollow patterns on the cover allow the scent to spread. The cover opens with a magnet closure, so the wood can be refilled or replaced when another fragrance is preferred. The scent lasts one to two days. Because perfume is not sprayed on the shirt, stains and mixed scents are avoided. Both the cover and the wood can be custom made.

- 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.
