A bracelet includes a first semi-ring with a first pivot end and a first non-pivot end opposed to the first pivot end. A second semi-ring has a second pivot end pivotally mounted to the first pivot end, a second non-pivot end opposed to the second pivot end, a positioning member provided between the first and second pivot ends to prevent the two pivot ends from freely pivoting, and a channel defined along an inner circumference of the second semi-ring. A cosmetic container has a containing body with a chamber detachably mounted in the channel. An open end is communicated with the chamber and extends out from the second non-pivot end of the second semi-ring. A plug is mounted at the open end. Whereby, cosmetic such as scent can be contained in the container and sprayed out from the plug.

2. Description of Related Art
Since the dawn of time, people have considered their appearances and have daubed their skins with colors, and worn body ornaments. Bones, minerals, natural fibers etc have been fashioned into bracelets, earrings and so on for various purposes. Conventional bracelets do not have any utility effect other than an ornamental effect. Cosmetics as women's personal effects must be continually carried by them for use at any moment. For convenience in carrying them, the cosmetics are put in a bag, resulting in another inconvenience to use.
Therefore, the invention provides a bracelet with a cosmetic container to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
