ChatPerf Inc. is a startup of scent technology, was founded in 2010 with a vision to build a scent 4D communication platform. Koki and his team invented the first scent smartphone gadget aimed at bringing to scent lifestyle more fun and easily.
He makes a device name “Scentee” that you attach to your smartphone and connect a small cartridge of scent. When you send a message to someone with Scentee, the device emits a small dose of perfume. For example, on Valentine’s Day, you message
‘I Love you’ and then a whiff of sweet perfume hits the person’s nose.
