Researchers have attempted a “scent prediction” to test their computer model of lily-of-the-valley fragrance receptor hOR17-4. This molecule was characterized in detail as the first human ...

On both coasts fragrance boutiques, like Aedes Perfumery in New York and Scent Bar in Los Angeles, sell four to 12 bottles a day of Escentric Molecules Molecule 01, a fairly high ...

It also may identify new odors for the fragrance and flavor industry ... from mint to musty -- to describe each molecule. "Our confidence in this model can only be as good as our confidence ...

The computer model assessed new scents as reliably ... understudied bad smells or test how tweaks in molecular structure change perception. And fragrance chemists could consult it when refining ...

the resulting model can go on to predict the mosquito repellency of nearly any molecule. Humans are able to smell things because microscopic molecules are processed by receptors in your nose ...

“We have built in a water sensitive chemical bond between the fragrance molecule and the ionic liquid,” says lead researcher Nimal Gunaratne, a professor at Queen’s University’s Ionic ...

a synthetic molecule used in perfume making. “When I put it on, people will say, ‘You smell so good — like you just got out of the shower.’ That’s the whole point,” Ripa explains.
