A Step Towards Sustainable Personal Care With Upcycled Deodorant

In today’s world, where sustainability is at the forefront of consumer consciousness, innovative solutions that challenge the status quo are celebrated. One such groundbreaking product is Refresh, a sustainable and refillable deodorant that redefines personal care standards while making a significant impact on environmental conservation.

Designer: Elanur Aslan

Refresh takes sustainability to new heights by upcycling waste plastics to create its packaging. This ingenious approach breathes new life into discarded materials, giving them a renewed purpose and diverting them from landfills. By doing so, Refresh not only reduces the burden on our environment but also sets a precedent for responsible consumption and production.

One of the standout features of Refresh is its refillable design. The inner chamber of the deodorant is easily replaceable, allowing users to extend the life of the packaging. This simple yet effective innovation curtails the need for new plastic manufacturing, which is a significant contributor to plastic waste in our oceans and landfills. By embracing this refillable concept, Refresh encourages consumers to be part of the solution to the plastic pollution problem.

The ergonomic design of Refresh ensures effortless application, making it a user-friendly choice for those seeking a sustainable alternative to conventional deodorants. Beyond functionality, Refresh’s departure from traditional deodorant packaging exemplifies a commitment to forward-thinking sustainability. It sets a new standard for personal care products, emphasizing that sustainability should be a cornerstone of our daily routines.

In a world where sustainability is a shared responsibility, Refresh is a beacon of hope. By diverting plastics from landfills, this innovative product conserves valuable resources and reduces energy consumption. It embodies the principles of a circular economy, where materials are repurposed and given a new lease on life. Recycling waste plastics through high-pressure compression not only lessens the harm to our environment but also reduces the demand for new plastic production, ultimately reducing our carbon footprint.

Refresh encourages us to reshape today for a sustainable tomorrow. By choosing to refill and reuse, we contribute to a cleaner and more responsible future. The availability of deodorant refills ensures that the product remains effective for the long term while promoting responsible consumer behaviour.

However, Refresh is not just about sustainability; it’s also about aesthetics and functionality. Its sleek lines, innovative use of recycled materials, and ergonomic shape come together to create a harmonious blend of form and function. When you choose Refresh, you’re not only making a statement about your commitment to the environment, but you’re also embracing a product that aligns with your discerning sense of style.

In conclusion, Refresh is a game-changer in the personal care industry. It sets a new standard for sustainability by upcycling waste plastics, promoting refill and reuse, and offering a product that combines aesthetics and functionality. By choosing Refresh, you’re not only making a responsible choice for today but also investing in a cleaner, more sustainable future. It’s a reminder that sustainability should be at the heart of every product we use and every choice we make.

Miss the smell of gasoline?? Ford just launched a fuel-scented perfume specially for EV owners

In a bid to out-weird Elon Musk’s Tesla Tequila, Ford just announced a perfume that vaguely smells like gasoline, designed for EV owners who miss the wafting aroma of fossil fuels. The perfume even comes in a gas-pump-shaped bottle, and is rather cleverly named Mach-Eau, a play on the word “Macho” by combining Ford’s Mach-E with the French term ‘Eau’, often used to describe perfumes.

As Ford gradually makes its complete transition to electric vehicles (with the Mustang Mach-E and the electric F150 being announced in the past two years), they conducted a survey to find out what their customers missed most about petrol-powered cars. The results showed that “one in five drivers said the smell of petrol is what they’d miss most when swapping to an electric vehicle, with almost 70% claiming they would miss the smell of petrol to some degree.” Ford also claimed in a press release that Petrol ranked as a more popular scent than both wine and cheese, and almost identically to the smell of new books. Sounds weird, but also sounds about right, because strangely enough, I REALLY like the smell of petrol too… but enough to douse myself in a perfume that smells like it? Well, maybe not.

The company, however, made it clear as they unveiled their fragrance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, that Mach-Eau doesn’t, in fact, smell entirely like gasoline, but rather draws on certain qualities of its aroma. Developed in partnership with renowned fragrance consultancy, Olfiction, “[The] Mach-Eau is designed to please the nose of any wearer; a high-end fragrance that fuses smoky accords, aspects of rubber and even an ‘animal’ element to give a nod to the Mustang heritage”, Ford mentioned in the press release. Be that as it may, the company hasn’t really put the Mach-Eau up for sale yet. Maybe it’ll come included with Ford’s next set of cars? Who ‘nose’. (get it? nose? knows?)

Your Very Own Personalized Fragrance!

Very commonly, perfumes and aftershaves are disposed of before the bottle is empty due to ever-changing personal preferences and trends. This is a wasteful approach to the problem and something that the designers of ‘Blow’ identified.

Blow is a beautifully designed, compact device that creates a fragrance unique to the user and it does this through AI algorithms and Big Data! By selecting which AI holds the most information about them and selecting the type of fragrance they would like, the five capsules housed inside Blow will mix a unique scent for the user.

Unlike traditional perfume bottles which are suited to only spraying a specific concentrated area at a time, Blow uses a fine, delicate mist to dispense the scent, allowing for a far broader coverage. All of this advanced technology is housed within a minimal and compact body that would look right at home on your dressing table!

Wake up to the smell of the seaside!

There’s something about scent that’s more efficient at waking someone up than anything else. Having the sun shining in your eye or an alarm clock ringing can jolt you into wakefulness but you’re still bound to be groggy. Smell a nice hot cup of coffee or the ocean breeze and your body and your mind both wake up at the same time!

The Sensorwake employs light, sound, and aroma to wake you in under 2 minutes. Using proprietary aroma cartridges that last for over a month, the Sensorwake can get you out of bed by wafting fragrances in the room. Aside from the regular espresso coffee, the Sensorwake even comes with aromas like Apple-Cinnamon, Peppermint, Fresh Cut Grass, the Seaside and more. Simply slide the cartridge in and set your alarm timer and the Sensorwake gently blinks a light while playing soothing music along with filling the room with fragrances that immediately get you out of bed… although with fragrances like chocolate or espresso, you’re going to wake up with quite the appetite!

Moodo’s smart fragrance box adds a hint of vanilla to your home

It's no secret that not every Kickstarter or Indiegogo project becomes a reality. Often times, these ideas get crowdfunded but don't get turned into an actual product, but thankfully that wasn't the case for the Moodo smart air freshener. The project...

Do You Like the Smell of Kitten Fur? There’s a Perfume for That

Kittens are the best thing ever. I don’t think that anything else could cheer you up like kittens or make you feel as good. If only we could bottle the sassy smell of kitten fur and wear it so that we can smell it at all times, right? Well, your dreams have come true. Demeter is now offering a Kitten Fur fragrance.

Demeter has captured the olfactory essence of the warmth and comfort of that purrfect spot, just behind a kitten’s neck. A fragrance that truly purrs. And so, will anyone who experiences it.

Sounds purrfect. Whether you own a cat or not, you can now smell like one and never be without this scent. Your cat will think you are a cat too.

Aromatic Alarms!

mojo_alarm_1

Ever woken up to the smell of fresh coffee, or sizzling bacon, or just the fragrance of your loved one? Smell has a way to invigorate you in a way that sound can’t. The Mojo fragrance alarm relies on that property by using fragrances to wake you up so you feel absolutely refreshed and vibrant!

The Mojo’s design is innovative and has a clever detail. The fragrance grill takes inspiration from the Fibonacci arrangement in a flower, making a rather clever reference to the way humans smell lowers for their unique and pleasing fragrances. While the idea of waking up to fragrances isn’t for everyone, Mojo works as a conventional alarm clock too. Either set your alarm time and fragrance manually on the Mojo, or use the Mojo app to configure when you want to wake up, and to what aroma!
