The Perfumer

Published 2016

Sniff to win! The Perfumer is a board game played by your nose, a game of real fragrance thanks to a new board game concept that integrates the "sense of smell" into the game rules. With a special printing technology, real fragrances are "printed" onto cards. Get ready for a brand new gaming experience! A good perfumer needs to have a keen knowledge of fragrance ingredients and be able to distinguish each of the ingredients by smelling their odors. Drawing on their wide range of knowledge about fragrance, players explore all over the world to collect ingredients, then try to fulfill clients' orders of unique perfumes. The secret recipe passed down by the century-old perfumers is another challenge that awaits players as you must identify the specific ingredients used in the secret formula by smelling. So let the journey began — smell all the way around the world to earn the most honors, and become the most celebrated perfumer of all!
