Tom Binns Teams Up With Lisa Hoffman to Create Scented Luxury Jewellery
Ever feel like you lose your perfume scent during the day now there's a wonderful solution for it, with a new design innovation of scented luxury jewellery collection by Tom Binns and Lisa Hoffman, two artisans at the height of their craft. The collaboration of a special collection that marries Lisa’s ground breaking fine fragrance with designs that reflect Tom’s unwavering devotion to avant-garde aesthetics. A sublime combination of form and function, the collection is destined to become a cult favourite — and a personal obsession.
Hoffman, who’s had a professional role in the beauty industry since 2007, became a fan of jewelry by Tom Binns when her famous husband, actor Dustin Hoffman, gave her one of his pieces as a present. It was about a year ago when Hoffman visited Binns in Los Angeles to discuss her idea of a fragrance jewelry line, which she told WWD that he loved because of the idea that jewelry and fragrance are worn on the same places on the body. “What was so wonderful and thrilling for us was the organic connection between jewelry and fragrance,” she said. The result is stylish scented jewelry that is designed to be as fragrant as possible in the most efficient way.
What Hoffman and Binns came up with is an equal blend of both professionals. Using eco-friendly materials, Binns created pod-shaped curved pendants that encase fragrance beads and effectively emit them through small vents. The scents are creations from Hoffman’s beauty line, including Japanese Agarwood, Madagascar Orchid, Tunisian Neroli, French Clary Sage and Tuscan Fig. One challenge of creating the fragrance beads’ wood flour-based formula was finding a medium that didn’t react badly to the jewelry’s materials. Ultimately, Binns chose five metal varieties that correspond to Hoffman’s five scents, including bronze, rhodium, gold, rose gold, and brushed gold— all at $250 (Approximately £167). Cuffs for $300 (Approximately £188) and earrings for $200(Approximately £125) will be available in November and January, respectively. The designs are beautiful and to have second functionality of spreading a wonderful scent just makes them all that more special. So definitely could consider these as a great Christmas gift, also there are more scent luxury jewellery at Lisa Hoffman Beauty.
