Why we only need to smell like our natural

In Tom Robbins’s 1976 novel Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, the smooth-riding cowgirl Bonanza Jellybean is explaining to a bunch of ladies visiting the ranch that they shouldn’t be ashamed of their natural essence and that it, in actual fact, works of their favour. “Here’s somewhat self-celebration I bet you ladies never considered,” Bonanza tells them, “What you do is reach down together with your fingers and get them wet together with your juices. You then rub it in behind your ears. It’s an exquisite perfume,” she says. “Very subtle and really mischievous. Men are attracted, I guarantee you.” It’s an unusual trick, and one I imagine not many readers will go for, but there has recently been quite a lot of...

While one judge looked as if it would appreciate the complex nature of the scent and one other enjoyed “the fun ride,” others on the panel couldn’t address what they saw as a jarring combination. “Clever, complex, compact, oddly inscrutable fresh-metallic-milky accord. Very nice work.”Rating: 7 “The fragrance is a chameleon on me — each time I wear it I smell something completely different.

Arcaea Launches Fragrances That Smell Like Extinct Flowers –

Biotech start-up Arcaea is taking floral fragrances back to the past, with a latest range of scents based on extinct flowers. Its latest brand, Future Society, uses sequenced DNA from extinct flowers as inspiration for these formulations. That’s because this technology makes it possible to grasp what scent molecules these flowers can have once produced. Once sourced, this data was then shared with perfumers including Daniela Andrie and Olivia Jan, each at Givaudan, and Jérome Epinette of Robertet, who created Future Society’s Scent Surrection Collection. “Fragrance has all the time been rooted in powerful storytelling and sensory experiences. We're excited to point out how biology can create latest stories and product experiences. Science is about greater than clinical studies, it also represents latest...
