Unidentified Fragrance Object (UFO) by Kenzo™ was a very limited series perfume, launched in 2009. The floral, woody, musky perfume was created by Aurélien Guichard, master perfumer from father to son, graduate of the legendary 250-year-old French Givaudan Perfumery School, where his father is the current Director. The infinity symbol perfume bottle, no less unusually stunning, was created by the Israeli industrial designer, and architect, Rod Arad.
The perfume bottle was awarded the US design patent USD653954S1, titled Flask for perfumery bottle, on February 14, 2012, and assigned to Kenzo, in Paris France. As a reminder, “a utility patent” protects the way an article is used and works (35. U.S.C. 101), while a “design patent” protects the way an article looks (35 USC 171) [MPEP Chapt. 1502.01; [R-07.2015]].
