Olfactory NYC is making it easier than ever to design your own custom scent. Fans can craft their own fragrance either in the store or by mail, thanks to the ‘Explorer Box.’ In either case, they’ll begin by choosing one of nine core scent groups. From there, the team will take your preferred scent group and round the fragrance out with more specific complementary notes like iris, musk, cashmere or cedarwood and incense. In the store, fans will be able to test the scent along the way to hone in on what they love — and what they don’t — to ultimately create their own custom scent for $85.
Today we’re taking a look at a new solar powered smartwatch, an electric motorcycle and a burly fishing kayak. This is Today in Gear.

Meet the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar

Just as the name would suggest, the new watch comes with an extended battery life, which can produce 50 percent more energy than the standard Instinct 2 solar watch. As a result, the watch arrives with an essentially ‘unlimited battery life,’ which when coupled with the powerful GPS tracking, can make a life-saving difference in the backcountry. The new release is joined by the Instinct 2X Solar – Tactical Edition ($499) which offers fans features like Stealth Mode, Night-Vision Compatibility and dual-position GPS formatting.
