Market Description• When you are active and on the go, sometimes it’s hard to stay
smelling fresh. Whether you are out running errands, working your 9-5 job, working out, laying out, or getting ready for a night out, smelling good is always a priority. Having to stop to reapply perfume or cologne is time that we don’t have to waste. And sometimes, it’s not always convenient to carry around that bottle with you wherever you go.
