January the 21st, 2021 - Remember the fuss around Bitcoin? People might not be obsessing over it quite as much as they used to anymore, but it is still very much present and continuing to gain in importance. One Cakovec perfume producer, of all people, has ''mined'' the very first Bitcoin perfume, right here in Croatia.
As Ivan Tominac/Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Bitcoin perfume symbolises the future, it contains 20 percent essences and is placed in a handmade leather and wood box. This is the first such perfume in the entire world, and it was created by no less than a Cakovec perfume producer and the owner of the Levy brand, Dejan Levacic.
With all of the various substances used by perfume creators, such as oils, alcohol, essences, flowers and plants, during the process itself, this Cakovec perfume producer believes, the most important thing is ones imagination in regard to those places, events, moments and plants that are incompatible and can be imagined through procedures that no one uses.
Like most good things, it occurred by chance
This time, the desire is to tell a story that will evoke the power of money and transactions that will appear in the future, without being something already seen such as perfumes bearing the names of various world currencies. According to Levacic, the notes of the perfume have remained a secret, and there will be 2,100 copies of the 50 millilitre edition and one of 210 litres on offer from this Cakovec perfume producer.
"Quite by accident, a friend drew my attention to bitcoin. After a few days of research, I realised that only bitcoin has an identical way of creating, just like the way in which I create perfumes. It regards my unique creation process that I’ve been using for the last six years. I leave perfumes in the mine shafts so that nature can give them notes that no one can create,'' said Levacic.
Levacic is, among other things, the owner of a license confirming the breaking of the Guinness world record for the world's largest perfume, has collaborated with several tourist boards, and seeks to transform his work into an oasis of all lovers of a good scent.
His interest in creating perfumes dates back to 1985, when in the 5th grade of primary school he started going to Pliva where his mother Zlatica was in charge of cosmetics production. He spent every moment with her and absorbed the knowledge that makes him an expert perfume producer today, as well as a person capable of thinking outside the box. This is how Bitcoin perfume was created. The first copy was created by Levacic back in 2015, when the value of this virtual currency was 300 US dollars.
Six years later...
Today, six years later, Bitcoin is accepted as a secure, fast and unquestionable method of payment and is used by serious players and big investors, world banks and insurance companies. Its value has skyrocketed again in recent months, reaching more than 40,000 US dollars last week and being traded at 37,120 US dollars just a few days ago.
"I chose Bitcoin because only it has a unique story of mining a new type of gold, which in the future will allow everyone to pay and use the currency in an unprecedented way. PayPal has enabled 346 million users to use bitcoin every day,'' added Levacic.
All of this Cakovec perfume producer's perfumes will be numbered with the serial number B300 - B2100 max, and the added value of the perfume is identical to the purchase of an art painting that will increase in value many times over in the future.
