The Scent Ring Concept | Junifer & Junifero

Abstract

To achieve a great scent-taste experience olfactory artist Peter de Cupere invented the Perfume/Scent Ring Concept. In combination with a glass tube, the Perfume/Scent Ring Concept boost the smell of a drink.

It adds an amazing 'scentaste' to the enjoyment of drinking. It can be used in combination with liqueurs, spirits, fruit juices, water, whiskeys, wine, champagne, ... ​ The concept is based on his invented Scent/Smell Drinks in 2003, which were presented in his Smell-Movie Sniff Receptor. During the opening of his exhibition in 2003 (Olfactormoviestudios @ Z33 in Hasselt, BE) more than 700 people could experience divers drinks in combination with a fragrance. For this he designed a special cup with a fragrance holder. Hot water 'scentasted' like coffee, sparkling water 'scentasted' like coca cola, fruit juice 'scentasted' to another fruit then expected, and many more 'scentasting' experiences were added. ​ In 2019 this idea became part of the Scent Ring Concept that he used for commissioned perfumes based on the Jenevers of the National Jenevermuseum of Belgium in Hasselt, BE. Peter de Cupere set to work with the authentic home- red gins and liqueurs from the National Jenever Museum Belgium. Together with the aromas of the ingredients of these spirits, he has combined other scents to obtain a wider blend. So not so much to enhance the smell of the jenever/gin ingredients, but to boost them. In this way two fragrance compositions or perfumes were developed that, in combination with tasting the home- made museum jenever/gin, provide an interactive and very experimental experience. The perfumes are also great for perfuming yourself!

Another version of the Perfume/Scent Ring Concept is a self-made ring out of a perfume blotter strip.

This adds an amazing 'scentaste' to the enjoyment of drinking the jenever/gin. It can also be used in combination with other drinks/liqueurs.
