'Sure your watch may look good, but does it smell good?'
...is probably something that has never crossed your mind. But now that you’ve read it, we’re sure you’re intrigued.
Kaoru, a Japanese watch brand, have exactly the remedy for this very specific worry, as they specialise in ‘fragrance watches’. They’ve previously released some super cute Hello Kitty watches that smell like apple pie and strawberry among other scents, and now they’re showing some national pride with wristwatches that give off the various aromas of Japan.
There’s seven options to choose from, and not only do they smell nice, but these watches also have stylish designs.
The scent is held in the watch straps, and the unique manufacturing process is a joint effort involving Japanese scent specialists, rubber manufacturers and watch makers.
Each watch’s colour corresponds to the fragrance. There’s a pink sakura (cherry blossom) watch. Green for matcha (green tea). A white hinoki (Japanese cypress) watch.
Tsubaki (camelia) is red. For yuzu (Japanese citrus lemon), the colour is inspired by the leaves rather than the fruit itself, as they turn from bright green to yellow as the seasons change. Waboku (Japanese ink) is in a sleek black colour. Lastly, incense is a dark blue.
The price of these watches start at 3520 yen each, but there’s other add-ons and options, such as watch faces inspired by various Japanese cities, that you can pay extra for.
These watches can be found on Japan Post’s online shop.
