The lead investor for Devialet is Frenchman Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy), the world's largest luxury group. He's worth a cool $40 billion, so he has some spare change to fool around with music. Anyway, the breaking news is that LVMH is going to absorb Christian Dior. Thus, I think there is the real possibility for a new Devialet-scented product. Of course, you'll be able to choose which scent you prefer given your mood, as the device will be able to digitally select the required bouquet. Pricing will be in line with premium perfumes, so be prepared to open your wallet.

That wouldn't be news, that would be a wind up.

Or impregnated with their latest scent. The hotter you run it, the more you can enjoy the fragrance.
