<p>Let’s dive into the AI-powered future of fragrance—where machines are learning to predict, design, and even manipulate scent in ways we never imagined. Can artificial intelligence outsmart human perfumers? Why do some perfumes last for hours while others vanish in minutes? How are brands using captive molecules and trade secrets to lock out competitors and control the industry? Maria Meliora asks Rich Whitcomb from Osmo to reveal how neural networks and molecular data are mapping chemistry to scent perception. We explore the puzzles of longevity, the role of “silent enhancers,” and hear hot takes on useful vs. overrated molecules like Iso E Super, Ambroxan, and pheromone marketing—plus what even the almighty AI still struggles with. If you’ve ever wondered why perfume dupes never smell quite right, why some ingredients mysteriously disappear, or what the next Chanel No. 5 for Gen Alpha might be, this episode is for you.🔥 Challenge our guests!
