Smiley perfume

The aim of every fragrance should be to make you feel happy, but this one made our faces beam even before we got to the scent inside — French product designer Ora Ito’s sunny pharmaceutical design is a joy in itself. The unisex scent was created for the Smiley brand by Firmenich, and the Swiss perfume house says it contains micro-nutrients that activate happiness. The formula combines theobromine and phenylethylamine, both natural mood elevators, as well as the more conventional notes of bergamot, patchouli and musk.
