Japanese Female Electro Pop Trio PERFUME

Perfume (パフューム Pafyūmu) adalah trio wanita penyanyi Jepun dengan genre teknopop asal dari Prefektur Hiroshima yang dibentuk padsa tahun 2001. Sejak tahun 2003, trio ini diurus oleh penerbit Yasutaka Nakata iaitu penubuh kumpulan Capsule dan sekaligus merupakan pemilik label rakaman Contemode.

Single "Polyrhythm" yang diedarkan pada tahun 2007 menjadi single pertama mereka yang memasuki ranking Top 10 Oricon Chart. Album Game yang diedar pada 16 April 2008 merangkul tempat pertama tangga album Oricon di minggu pertama peredarannya. Prestasi sama oleh kumpulan teknopop hanya pernah dicapai Yellow Magic Orchestra (Y.M.O), 24 tahun 11 bulan sebelumnya.

Trio ini diberi nama Perfume disebabkan nama ketiga-tiga anggota kumpulan sama-sama memiliki aksara kanji untuk "ka" atau "kō" (香) yang dipakai untuk menulis kata "kōsui" (perfume).

Menurut ketiga anggotanya,

"Perfume dapat menenangkan sekaligus menyenangkan orang. Kewujudannya kami ingin seperti kewujudannya perfume yang boleh membuatkan orang berasa tenang."
