When Jody Kocken discovered she was allergic to perfume, she looked for solutions that would enable her to still wear a fragrance. She developed Perfume Tools: a series of industrial jewellery pieces that can be attached to the opening of a perfume bottle. The tools absorb the scent and work as fragrance diffusers that can be worn. In places where the skin is most vulnerable, the precious metal is warmed up so that the scent can travel. Any skin contact with the perfumed liquid is thus avoided. Starting a project with a personal experience makes is much easier for Jody Kocken to design and develop a product. With the project Perfume Tools all pieces came together automaticaly. It was not anymore about solving problems but about designing a product that represent her as a designer. Jody Kocken is a perfectionist, she takes element from the history and from other cultures as an inspiration to develop a functional product.
