Find Your Perfume Personality with Perphone, the Perfume Bottle with a Twist!

Find your perfume personality with Perphone, the perfume bottle with a twist!

Perphone

We rely on our smartphones for everything. They can engage all our senses, heighten all our feelings and tend to all our needs. Using touch screen technology we can watch back old memories on video, listen to our favourite podcast, and set our hearts a-flutter as we search for our soulmate. We can even add up how much we’ve spent savouring the taste of Starbucks this month without having to carry around a bulky calculator.

If there’s one sense the smartphone has yet to engage, however, it’s smell. In our tiny chic clutch bag on a night out we still have to carry at least two must-have items with us – our iPhone and our perfume. (Of course, we’re using Apple Pay to buy drinks, so no need for a purse).

Marilyn Monroe, she who famously only wore Chanel No.5 to bed, understood the importance of perfume and its ability to both shape and highlight a woman’s individual character. Never underestimate the power of a signature scent to make you stick in the mind of every person you meet. And so, dashing out of the office before a coffee meeting, our busy minds still preoccupied with how to reply to that email, we have to remember to take two things with us: our phone and our perfume.

You’d never go anywhere without your phone, but you might accidently leave your mini perfume bottle at the bottom of your bag, hidden as it is under torn out notebook pages and coffee shop receipts. What if grabbing your phone from your desk before heading out for a meeting meant having your signature scent with you too? A perfume bottle with a twist (quite literally), Perphone is about to make every tech-savvy, fashion-forward, beauty-obsessed woman’s dreams come true.

Perphone (the perfume bottle with a twist)

This sleek, sexy phone case with a built in atomiser has just made it a whole lot easier for us to define our business personality through a consistent scent. No more spritzing and spraying random smells that happen to be nearby when you suddenly realise you’re in desperate need. It’s time to solidify brand you with an instantly recognisable fragrance that your clients, colleagues and boss will come to associate with hard work and perseverance.

For the boss:

Always under pressure and always on the move, it’s vitally important that as the boss of your company you’re never caught off guard without your signature scent. Having a handy stock of perfume re-fills in your desk drawer will keep you feeling fresh throughout the long working day, despite the 5am alarm and all-nighter you’re about to pull.

For the new girl in the office:

Perfume, Perphone remind us, can awaken the senses and prepare the mind for the challenges ahead. Being the new girl in a new job can be a daunting prospect, but don’t let it overwhelm you. Instead, focus on the excitement of being able to become whoever you want to be in this new environment. No one knows you yet, so now’s the time to switch up your beauty regime, discovering the new signature scent that you’ll be known for as you waft past colleagues at the coffee machine.

For the freelancer:

As a freelancer, you may well be working from home, not seeing a single soul all day. While we’ll let you off for opting out of changing out of your loungewear, what we cannot allow is a lack of perfume. Why? Because perfume isn’t always for other people; it’s for you. We have an incredible ability to associate scents with certain events or feelings, so smelling the soft rose of your Brindille as you spritz it on each morning will remind you that you’re in work mode.

For the socialite:

According to Perphone, ‘the scent we wear says more about us than a thousand words’. With that in mind, the socialite should never be without the seductive scents of her Journal Intime at a networking event. As is often the way with socialites, people might not quite know what it is you do, but your signature scent will have spoken loudly enough for them to know they want to hear more.
