That's right, there is now an Apple  fragrance !

Melbourne artists, Gavin Bell, Jarrah de Kuijer and Simon McGlinn contracted Air Aroma to come up with the scent of an Apple product being opened for the first time.

Air Aroma says:

"A distinctive scent can be observed when unwrapping a newly purchased Apple product from its packaging. Apple fans will certainly recognize this smell. The scent created for Greatest Hits encompasses the smell of the plastic wrap covering the box, printed ink on the cardboard, the smell of paper and plastic components within the box and of course the aluminum laptop which has come straight from the factory where it was assembled in China.

The process of creating this signature fragrance started with an initial meeting with our client to understand the concept and desired effect of the fragrance. Once this was established, the ingredients for the fragrance had to be sourced. The scent requested by our client was quite unusual so we contacted our fragrance suppliers in the South of France to send over samples of fragrances with the aroma of glue, plastic, rubber and paper. Air Aroma fragrance designers then used these samples as ingredients to create a range of signature blend fragrances. The blends, each with unique recipes were then tested in the Air Aroma laboratory until a final fragrance was ultimately selected."

The fragrance is not for sale but will be used for the artists as part of their upcoming exhibition at West Space from April 20 to May 12 in Melbourne.
