Amkiri in the Press - Amkiri Visual Fragrance™

Is Decorative, Wearable Perfume the Future of Fragrance?

October 9, 2019

Similar to Diptyque’s latest launches, the brand Amkiri launched in New York City this past spring as the world's "first visual fragrance"—the format is a stencil semi-permanent tattoo, instead of a typical bottle of liquid. However, the strikingly innovative thing about this product is that it’s entirely customizable, as the formula is a stencil and wand. Choose between 95 different designs in white or charcoal to get a unique look. Amkiri was founded by Shoval Shavit Shapiro, a designer educated in Tel Aviv and Berlin. The Visual Fragrance scent & design also promises to last 12+ hours after the first application, and it’s also hypoallergenic, water, and sweat-resistant, alcohol-free as well as vegan and cruelty-free.

This unique fragranced ink presents a whole new way to wear a scent. Instead of a spritz from a pretty glass bottle, Amkiri Visual Fragrance is blended as a charcoal gray (or ivory) ink that you paint directly on your skin. The bottle is reminiscent of nail polish, with a long, quill-like brush top that unscrews just the same. The convenient patterned stencils included in the box make for subtle or striking (but always cool) designs that last a day or two and hold a musky scent until you wash the pigment away.
