Enhancing Perfumery with AI
Artificial intelligence is being leveraged to revolutionize the perfumery industry by expanding the creative possibilities available to perfumers. Traditional perfumers typically work with a limited palette of a few hundred ingredients from a potential 5,000 available. The goal is to assist perfumers by providing them with more diverse ingredient options to stimulate creativity and exploration of new olfactory experiences. By enhancing their tools rather than replacing them, AI is expected to lead to richer, more innovative scents and formulations.
