About @cosme HONG KONG
@cosme HONG KONG is the fourth @cosme flagship store globally, following three locations in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya). Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, a central district frequently visited by tourists from around the world, the store occupies three floors and approximately 393 tsubo (approx. 1,300 square meters) of prime retail space.
The KAORIUM Experience: Fusing Digital and Real-World Scent Discovery
KAORIUM is an AI system that translates scent into language, offering a new, intuitive way to encounter fragrances. The system addresses the common difficulty consumers face in selecting scents from a vast array of products.
At @cosme HONG KONG, KAORIUM analyzes the characteristics of in-store fragrances and links them to a unique "Scent Index", which expresses the scent profiles using 16 different words. Customers can interact with the KAORIUM device and the Scent Index to visualize the often ambiguous impression of a fragrance through concrete language, allowing them to intuitively discover scents that align with their personal preferences.
Seamless Integration with the @cosme App
To provide a seamless omnichannel experience, the KAORIUM system is integrated with the @cosme app (Hong Kong version).
After interacting with KAORIUM, customers can scan a QR code to save their personalized diagnosis results directly to their app. This feature ensures that the unique in-store discovery experience remains accessible as digital data. Customers can refer to their preferred scent profile later at home or at other locations, enhancing their ongoing purchasing journey.
Future Outlook
The debut of KAORIUM in Hong Kong serves as a significant milestone for SCENTMATIC. The company intends to leverage this initial success to further strengthen its business presence in the Asian region and proactively advance its global market expansion.

BOSTON (AP) — Morgan Geekie scored a pair of goals and Jeremy Swayman stopped 20 shots on Tuesday night to help the Boston Bruins beat Utah 4-1 for their fifth win in their last six games.
Casey Mittelstadt and Michael Eyssimont also scored goals, and David Pastrnak had a pair of assists as the Bruins returned from a three-game road trip to open a five-game homestand with a victory.
Barrett Hayton scored for the Mammoth, and Vitek Vanecek made 19 saves.
It was the first game back on the TD Garden ice for Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy, who missed almost a month after taking a puck to the face and having surgery. McAvoy has worn a face shield since returning on Thursday at Winnipeg.
Hayton was to Swayman's right when he flipped a pass from Sean Durzi past the goalie on a power play to make it 1-0 midway through the first period. Boston tied it with four minutes left in the first when the Bruins earned a man advantage and Pastrnak zipped the puck across the ice to Geekie, catching Vanecek out of position.
Just 23 seconds into the second period, Pastrnak skated out toward the blue line, then spun and wristed it toward Vanecek, who was screened by Geekie. The puck bounced off the goalie in front and Geekie swept it around into the net to make it 2-1.
It stayed that way until the midpoint of the third when Mittelstadt crossed the puck to Pavel Zacha, whose shot went off the boards behind the net and bounced to the other side for Mittelstadt to slam it in. Eyssimont got behind the defense with four minutes left to make it 4-1.
Mammoth visit Detroit on Wednesday night.
Bruins host Edmonton on Thursday night.
