The Venexx perfume watch

Posted by Robin on 11 January 2006 6 Comments

The Venexx perfume watch has come to sephora. The stainless steel watch face conceals a small spray atomizer allowing you to refresh your fragrance on the go; a funnel and pipette are included for refills. You can watch a video explaining how it works at the Venexx site.

The original set also included a sample of the Venexx fragrance for women created by perfumer Philippe Bousseton, but the sephora site does not mention that so I don't know if it is included. Available in white, pink or black for $180 at sephora, or in other colors directly from Venexx.
