Keep water simple
The water itself stays plain while aroma changes the experience of each sip.
ABOUT WAVEX
We make plain water more interesting.
WAVEX was created around a simple idea: hydration should feel enjoyable. Our aroma-powered system gives plain water a taste-like experience through scent, without adding sugar or calories to the water itself.

WHERE IT STARTED
One idea became a different way to drink water.
WAVEX started its journey in 2020 when founder Andreas was traveling back to Germany from Shanghai, where he had lived for more than 20 years.
During the trip, he heard a radio discussion about creating flavor perception through smell via retronasal olfaction. As someone who had never found plain water particularly exciting, he wanted to learn more.

Build it thoughtfully
WAVEX combines product design, engineering and manufacturing experience in one hydration system.
THE QUESTION
Could water stay plain and still feel exciting?
When Andreas returned to Shanghai, he began brainstorming with colleagues and friends about a system that could keep water pure and simple while creating the flavor experience people enjoy in other beverages.
The goal was straightforward: make drinking water more enjoyable without putting sugar, calories or flavor additives into the water itself.
THE IDEA
Hydration, powered by aroma.
That thinking developed into the WAVEX scent-pod system. The water stays plain while aroma travels through the nose as you drink, creating a taste-like perception without changing the water itself.
Different pods make it easy to switch the experience whenever you want something new.
THE TEAM
The WAVEX revolution was born.
Andreas teamed up with Gavin, an experienced engineer from Shanghai; Steel Lee, a manufacturing specialist; and Joe, an American expat business owner.
Bringing together product thinking, engineering, manufacturing and international business experience helped turn the original concept into the WAVEX hydration system.
