Enhancing well-being at the intersections of neuroscience, technology and perfumery
Revolutionising Cleaner Production:
Scent Bubble® Wearable Technology
The Scent Bubble® project is transforming the future of fragrance delivery with a groundbreaking, sustainable approach. Combining patented wearable technology with eco-conscious design, it tackles long-standing challenges in the beauty industry, such as packaging waste and limited personalisation, while introducing a new standard for cleaner, smarter, and more customisable fragrance delivery solutions.
​
​
At the heart of this innovation are three modular, refillable wearable designs: the Statement Necklace, Smart Bangle, and Magnetic Pendant. Each piece meets diverse consumer needs. The Statement Necklace offers a bold, customisable accessory with luxury appeal, integrating refillable cartridges for sustainability. The Smart Bangle combines versatility and functionality, delivering adaptive scent while supporting health monitoring, making it ideal for daily wear. Meanwhile, the Magnetic Pendant prioritises flexibility and interchangeability, providing a stylish, gender-neutral option for varied contexts.
​

​Drawing inspiration from circular economy models like SodaStream and Nespresso, Scent Bubble® champions refillable scent capsules and biodegradable materials to reduce environmental impact. Patented adaptive fragrance radii technology creates a personalised ‘scent bubble’ tailored to users’ movements and preferences, enhancing mood regulation and sensory experiences. Influenced by natural phenomena such as the atmospheric ‘Brocken spectre,’ the designs feature an iridescent, fashion-forward aesthetic that resonates with both luxury and mainstream markets.
​
​
​User testing highlighted strong enthusiasm for the project’s modularity, sustainability, and design. Participants from the fragrance industry praised the Smart Bangle for its versatility, the Statement Necklace for its luxury appeal, and the Magnetic Pendant for its adaptability. Industry responses have been overwhelmingly positive, with brands recognising Scent Bubble®’s potential to bridge fashion and functionality. Interest from luxury markets underscores a growing demand for sustainable, tech-driven beauty solutions.
​​
​
Looking ahead, Scent Bubble® aims to refine prototypes, secure additional patents, and collaborate with industry partners on pilot testing. Plans to integrate mood-detecting algorithms for wellness applications further position the project within the growing health tech sector. Supported by recent awards from Innovate UK ‘Design Foundations’, Medilink Midlands and additional funding bodies, Scent Bubble® is set to drive meaningful, sustainable change.
​
​
This project redefines how we experience fragrance. By introducing refillable, adaptive, and lower-ethanol systems, Scent Bubble® minimises waste while enhancing personalisation and user experience. Though refinements are needed to improve usability and integration into daily routines, the Scent Bubble® initiative marks a transformative leap forward for cleaner, smarter, and more conscious production in the beauty industry.
