  Perfumeo (Perfumeo(R)) is a consumer-hardware startup that built an AI-driven smart-home
  fragrance diffuser — a connected device holding scent capsules that its companion mobile
  app uses to adapt diffusion to the user's mood. The company describes itself as combining
  AI, data science, "green mechatronics" and green chemistry, and states it was founded in
  Paris in July 2021 and relocated to Cupertino, California in April 2023. It is an
  end-user product company: no public API, SDK, developer portal, webhook surface or
  machine-readable contract has ever been published, and none was found in this pass. As of
  2026-08-26 the domain the company itself lists as its website, www.perfumeo-ai.com, no
  longer belongs to it — WHOIS shows the domain was created 2026-06-12 under a Dynadot
  privacy proxy on domain-parking nameservers, and it now serves a bot-challenge
  interstitial followed by a "Coming Soon" holding page. The company's LinkedIn page
  remains up and lists a headcount of one.

x-notes:
  website: >-
    NO Website pointer is emitted, deliberately. The company's own published website
    (www.perfumeo-ai.com, per its LinkedIn profile and its own press releases) is no longer
    under its control: the domain was re-registered 2026-06-12 through Dynadot behind a
    privacy proxy on *.ns.giantpanda.com parking nameservers and now serves a placeholder.
    Pointing this profile at it would send readers and agents to a parked third-party
    domain and would assert a live company website that does not exist. The previous stub
    carried "type: Website / https://www.nasdaqprivatemarket.com/", which was the HARVEST
    SOURCE (Nasdaq Private Market's own site), never Perfumeo's — that pointer has been
    removed as flatly incorrect.
  domain_security: >-
    security/perfumeo-domain-security.yml was written by probe-domain-security.py on
    2026-08-26 and then DELETED in the same pass. Because the only Website pointer in the
    stub was nasdaqprivatemarket.com, the script measured Nasdaq Private Market's TLS,
    HSTS, SPF and DMARC posture and filed it as Perfumeo's. It has been removed rather than
    re-pointed: perfumeo-ai.com is now a parking service's infrastructure, so probing it
    would credit a squatter's DNS and TLS configuration to this company. Perfumeo has no
    domain of its own left to measure.
  namesake: >-
    perfumeo.fr is a DIFFERENT and unrelated company — FUZE TRADING SAS of Reims, France, a
    Shopify perfume retailer whose homepage announces it is closing. It is not this
    company's European storefront and must not be merged into this profile or used as a
    source for it.
  unverified_claims: >-
    Funding aggregators report a $105M round at a $450M valuation (Oct 2025) and patents in
    157 countries. These are NOT asserted here: they trace to self-serve press-release wire
    copy and aggregator summaries, they were not corroborated by any primary source, and
    they sit poorly beside a LinkedIn headcount of one and a lapsed corporate domain.

  detail: >-
    The domain Perfumeo itself publishes as its website, perfumeo-ai.com, was re-registered
    on 2026-06-12 behind a Dynadot privacy proxy on domain-parking nameservers and now
    answers a JS bot-challenge and then a "Coming Soon" holding page, with wildcard DNS and
    an HTTP catch-all that returns an identical 200 HTML shell for every path and every
    subdomain including invented ones.
