多虧一家法國公司,你不久將可以或許永遠保留你愛的人的氣息。這家公司籌劃在9月份開辟新的香水臨盆線,它可以把人們留在衣服上的體會保存下來。
這款新型香水的理念起源於法國的一個保險署理人——卡蒂亞·阿帕拉特圭。她七年條件出這個設法主意,其時她由於父親逝世而異常悲傷,她願望可以或許經由過程一種方法來把她父親的味道保留在瓶子裏。明顯,她的母親也有同感,她對卡蒂亞說,"我也很思念他的味道,以是不舍得洗濯他用過的枕套。"
貯存氣息這一設法主意引發了卡蒂亞的好奇心,她開端研討若何讓這一設法主意成真。她試下了幾回,卻沒甚麽結果,直到她發明了諾曼底的一個名為Seinari的創意機構。他們幫她接洽到了勒阿弗爾的一所大學,那邊有一個有機高份子化學系。這裏的研討員開端探討若何實現卡蒂亞的創意。經由無數次的失敗試驗後,他們還真研發出了一種可以從人的衣服中提取氣息的技巧,並能在短短四天內就將其加工成含酒精的香水。
現在,由卡蒂亞的兒子弗羅瑞恩·拉寶創建的Kalain公司把這個技巧購置過來。弗羅瑞恩是巴黎商學院的一位門生,他創建這家公司的目標是為那些因落空親人而悲哀的家庭辦事。
"咱們會給悲哀的家庭一個小盒子,內裏有一小瓶香水,是從他們逝去的親人的衣服上提取的,"卡蒂亞說,"咱們將按客人的請求定制,價錢約560歐元(600美元)。"
"氣息可以猛烈地喚起回想,"她彌補道。"咱們供給的是飽含情緒的產物。"
不外卡蒂亞其實不盤算將這個產物範圍於喪葬行業。他們籌劃為其他範例的客戶供給人體氣息的香水,好比那些和愛人歷久分家的人。
Thanks to a French company, it might soon be possible to store the comforting scent of a loved one forever. They plan to launch their new line of perfumes made from fragrances that people leave on their clothes, in September.
The idea for the perfumes belongs to French insurance agent Katia Apalategui. She came up with it seven years ago, when she was devastated about losing her father. At the time, she wished there was a way she could store his scent in a bottle. Apparently, her mother felt the same way: "I also miss the smell and do not want to wash his pillowcase," she had told Katia.
Intrigued by the idea of preserving odor, Katia began to investigate if she could actually make it happen. She tried researching but met with little success, until she came across an innovation agency called Seinari, in Normandy. They put her in touch with the department of organic and macromolecular chemistry at the University of Le Havre. Researchers there were able to explore the possibilities of bringing Katia's idea to life. After much trial and error, they actually developed a technique to extract the odor out of a person's clothes, and reconstitute it as an alcohol-based perfume in only four days' time.
The technique has now been purchased by a company called ‘Kalain', founded by Katia's son Florian Rabeau, a student at ISC Paris Business School. The startup aims to cater to grieving families who have recently lost loved ones.
"We will offer grieving families a small box containing a vial with the smell of the deceased collected from the fabric of their clothes," Katia revealed. "It will be tailor made for clients, and will be sold at around 560 euro ($600)."
"Smell is the strongest sense in terms of memory," she added. "We provide a very emotionally charged product."
But Kalain doesn't plan on getting confined to the funeral business. They plan on offering human scent perfumes to other types of customers, like people who spend a great deal of time away from loved ones.
