The problem it solves
Many people, especially young adults, may need a quick refresh of fragrance while out in public spaces like gyms or malls, but often lack the convenience of carrying a full bottle of perfume or cologne. Current solutions, such as carrying personal fragrance or using public restrooms, are inadequate as they do not offer a quick and affordable alternative to spritz on a fragrance.
How it makes money
E-commerce and affiliate marketing.
