如今,新的科学成果再次通过香氛艺术将生物学和化学紧密地结合起来。

塔普提 - 贝拉泰卡利姆和( )尼努既是化学家也是调香师。在 19 世纪,这两个角色相互关联但已分化为不同的职业;化学家不再直接参与香水制作,但他们通过以低成本生产高影响力的分子来为调香师的创意提供支持。如今,生物技术专家延续了这一传统,为调香师的调香板增添了新培养的成分。
然而,生物技术的创新力量不仅在于提供原料,还在于与艺术家合作探索新的机遇。那些直接将视野带入实验室的艺术家,将会带着对科学更深刻的理解回到工作室,这种理解能够挑战、启发并丰富他们的艺术创作。正是在艺术与科学的交汇处,新的创造力喷涌而出。事实上,在 2016 年 6 月 13 日至 15 日于迈阿密举行的世界香水大会上,作者所在的公司重点展示了一些艺术项目,这些项目指向了生物技术和香水领域的新机遇。以下是三个例子。
