Barebones; Once Upon A Smell…
By Jo Phillips

Any music aficionado out there will understand that the power of music has to transcend a plethora of barriers. Where music is heard over the radio, television, online streaming platforms or even a walkman (if you still have one). Or to commemorate your favourite artists, adorn your walls with posters or pack piles of albums, singles, tapes and even records on your bookshelves and frame special signed memorabilia. Then why can’t the power of scent be another platform to remember, celebrate and share music with the world?
Perfume brand JUSBOX flawlessly harmonizes the power of olfaction with music.
V-Monkeys, the Italian sibling duo behind the brand have been exposed to fragrances and cosmetics long before the conception of JUSBOX.
