The product takes the form of a black ink-like liquid that can be applied to the skin with a [brush applicator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geka), a wand, as well as stencils or stamps. When applied to the skin, the product is not only [highly visible, but incredibly fragrant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borntostandout-body-care), providing an aroma that is said to last for up to 12 hours at a time. As such, the ink-like product mimics the natural elasticity and movement of the skin so that it remains smooth during long-lasting wear. Although the product is being promoted with the images of the visual fragrance in black, the patented technology boasts the ability to carry any fragrance or color. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Visual Fragrance:** The development of visual fragrances opens up opportunities for creating multisensory experiences and captivating customers through scent and visual aesthetics. - **Cosmetic Tattoos:** The combination of cosmetics and body art in fragrant body inks presents an innovative way to enhance self-expression and create unique beauty statements. - **Long-lasting Fragrances:** The introduction of long-lasting fragrances in ink-like form allows for extended scent experiences, catering to individuals seeking fragrance longevity. ### Where This Applies - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can leverage fragrant body inks to offer customers innovative products that combine fragrance, body art, and cosmetics for unique beauty experiences. - **Fragrance:** The fragrance industry can explore new avenues for scent delivery by incorporating ink-like formulations that create long-lasting fragrances in visually appealing forms. - **Body Art:** The body art industry can embrace fragrant body inks as a disruptive innovation, offering customers a new dimension of expression by infusing scents into tattoo-like applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sheer Second-Skin Enhancers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-fragrance-fragrance.md) - [Interactive Tattoo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkstory.md) - [Shape-Shifting Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/me-by-snif.md) - [Evocative Unisex Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ysl-beauty-muse.md) - [Aromatic Wearable Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvan-mist.md) - [Close-Wearing Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eau-intimite.md) - [Joy-Sparking Fragrance Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-hair-body-mist.md) - [Fragrant Body Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mylk-de-parfum.md) - [Immersive Multi-Sensory Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asmr-fragrances.md)
