Perfume Lens

The Project

Perfume Lens is an AI-powered fragrance discovery app designed to help users explore and find their perfect scent. The app combines computer vision, personalized recommendations, and social features to create a unique experience for fragrance enthusiasts.

The fragrance market is massive but overwhelming — thousands of options with no easy way to discover what you'll actually like. Perfume Lens solves this by letting users simply point their phone camera at any perfume bottle to instantly identify it, read reviews, and get personalized recommendations based on their scent profile.

The Challenge

Building a reliable bottle recognition system required training custom ML models on thousands of fragrance products across varied lighting conditions, angles, and packaging. The app also needed to deliver recommendations that felt genuinely personal — not just popularity-based sorting, but actual scent-profile matching that improves over time as users rate fragrances.

Our Approach

We worked closely with the Perfume Lens team to build a cross-platform mobile app with a cloud-native backend capable of handling real-time image recognition. The architecture separates the camera recognition pipeline from the recommendation engine, allowing each to be optimized independently. User feedback loops continuously improve both systems.
