September 2, 2026·1h 2m
Episode Description from the Publisher

In search of the next great aromachemical (think of predecessors like ISO E Super, Cashmeran, Galaxolide, etc...), Patina Co-Founders Sean Raspet and Laura Sisson spend their days in the lab testing and developing new molecules. What does that mean? What is scent design and how does it work? And—in the same way every color has its own immutable RGB code, can we empiricize smells? Laura and Sean hope to do just that.FRAGS MENTIONED:Dior Thé Cachemire (SOTD), Chambre52 Contra Ta Peau, Guerlain L'Heure Bleue (2026), Zoologist Squid, Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb, Tauer L'Air du Desert Marocain, Frederic Malle Carnal Flower, Anti Rosa Antiqua, Patina: Metalox, Olivine, Ozocure, Ocean Simulation, Peppercess, Silterra; Chanel No. 5, Patina Nopalia
