So when this news started out, it was no shock, but gave off probably the biggest 'ahhhh' in scentaholic history.
Ingestible Perfume! Just how much further? Will you be trying this? Read and judge for yourself.
You may soon be able to throw away your deodorants and expensive perfumes. A team of Brazilian researchers has come up with a pill that replaces unpleasant body odor with a much more pleasing scent. They got the idea from certain foods, such as garlic, asparagus and curry which perfume the skin, urine and sweat.
The team just released the Fyber Sense pill that once consumed, discharges through sweat a lavender-like scent obtained from the herb coriander. It still needs more research before health authorities approve this pill for sale.
So apparently, this idea has gotten around and its on its way to becoming the next fashionable experience. Swallowable Perfumes are being developed by Lucy McRae.
Created by Amsterdam-based artist Lucy McRae along with synthetic biologist Sheref Mansy, Swallowable Parfum is essentially a capsule containing synthetic fragrant lipid molecules that mimic the structure of the fat molecules naturally found in the body. When those lipids get metabolized by the body’s enzymes, fragrant molecules are released and excreted through the skin’s surface through perspiration. The skin, then, serves as an atomizer for the tiny droplets of fragrance that are left behind, and the strength of the resulting scent is determined by the individual’s acclimatization to temperature, stress, exercise or sexual arousal. The video below explains the premise in visual detail:

However, as with every good thing we know, there are flip sides. surely, this topic raises an eyebrows and tickles curiosity so one will have to be careful, health wise. But as an ever growing universe, there will definitely be a way to make this plausible. The company in Amsterdam producing this product is expecting to utilise every measure in making perfume capsules, swallowable, that excretes fragrance molecules through the skin as a person perspires. Tiny drops of scent would then be unique to the person as the body’s chemical reaction as it digests food is personal and different depending on the individual’s physical and emotional state.
If the technology is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, it could revolutionise the fragrance industry by creating a personalised scent for each person depending on the chemical balance inside their body. It could become the biggest fashion trend and product, yet.
i have been waiting for this
