As you know, I give syrup workshops via Airbnb called “From Flowers to Syrup” once in a while. This time the European Flavor Association, short EFFA, has asked me to have an atelier at the Grasse Flavour Day 2018 in the South of France.

Because live cooking was not possible, I prepared 5 of my favorite syrups (cardamom, chili, orange blossom, smoked pepper and hibiscus) and the attendees of the conference could mix & match their own combination in a little empty bottle.

But before mixing your own bottle, you could try out the flavors on a wooden spoon. Of course, everyone wanted to create the nicest combination, which is always a pleasure to watch.

Additionally, next to my atelier was a great cocktail stand, where my syrups were used to spice up the cocktails. For instance: Gin Tonic with a touch of smoked pepper…. hmmm!

About 80 people from the entire flavor industry attended the conference. All of them could get a nice gift bag from In-Imitable with their own syrup mixture, a hand-written label saying which ingredients they used, and a leaflet mentioning ways how to use syrup.

Use it on your steak (instead of a cranberry sauce), or for your coffee (you probably heard about the new trend of lavender latte, that’s simply done with syrup), or on your ice-cream, fruit salad, cereals in the morning, smoothie, but also very nice in your salad dressing to give extra flavor! Just be creative!

In short, I had a great time, learned a lot, spread the love, and made people happy – what else do you want?!? Thanks to EFFA for the opportunity, and to IFF for sponsoring this!

Enjoy the rest of the week. Lots of love. Yours, Fran

Scent Constellation, a new album created by composer Daniel Sonabend, is being played at an installation at Le Grand Musée du Parfum in Paris.

A musical album that captures the ‘sounds’ of fragrance is due to launch on 1 June.

The Scent Constellation album will feature five musical fragrance compositions: Eau de Cologne, Oriental, Fougère, Floral and Chypre.

Created by Jason Bruges Studio, the installation is designed to portray the perfume creation process and scent pyramid through sound.

The sounds play for as long as each fragrance note lasts with a fast-evaporating top note represented by a short sound, and a lingering base note playing for longer.

Sonabend, based in London, specialises in creating music for scent and was commissioned to create Cartier’s first Unidentified Scent Object – Le Nudge Parfumé (The Perfumed Cloud).

Eau de grandpa, anyone?

A French company came up with an innovative way to bottle up a dead loved one’s unique scent into a perfume. The fragrance, which extracts the odor from the deceased person’s clothing — welcoming you to an “olfactory experience” — is expected to sell for $600 a bottle, as advertised on their website.

“Scents are the keys to memories and unlock strong emotions — good and bad,” John Jackson, CEO of Gynex Labratories Inc. and SpellboundRX — which specializes in olfactory stimulation. “To unleash the adoring memories of a loved one is precious and powerful.”

Katia Apalategui, a 52-year-old insurance saleswoman, came up with the idea after she lost her father. As a result, she created KALAIN, a perfume company that promises to bring — even if for a short while — their loved one’s presence.

A person’s scent is essentially the combined result of the millions of molecules from the environment in which they live. The factors can vary from the laundry detergent and soap used by a person to the cat they stroke lovingly at night or the food they eat.

But to bottle up the fragrance, it must be an exact science. “If not done well, this could create a nightmare of emotions,” Jackson said in a statement.

Interested? Yours, Fran

Personal care brand Nature & Découvertes, France, now sells neutral shower gel/ body lotion/ massage oil bases and essential oils so that consumers can create their own scented products.

On top, the base is claimed to be biological and therefore perfect for sensitive skin.

So basically you can chose how much scent you actually want, plus we all become perfume mixer at home 😉
