Sony develops machine to measure sense of smell

Sony has developed a device to measure an individual's sense of smell. The company hopes it will eventually be used in hospitals as olfactory measurement could help in the early diagnosis of dementia. Fujita Shuji, who leads the promotion of olfactory activities at Sony, says he wants to make smells easier to manage by mechanizing their measurement and reducing the burden on examiners. He believes that because the new equipment makes olfactory measurement easier, it could be used more extensively, including for health checks.

Now is the Time to Market Beauty to Generation Alpha

The Alpha generation is made up of people born after 2010 and although it is made up mostly of children and pre-teens, it will be the 20-year-old generation in 2030. Therefore, beauty brands should now prepare to understand their interests and habits. The Alpha Generation values authenticity, personalization, sustainability and ethics. This generation is also keenly aware of the importance of equality, diversity, fluidity and inclusion, and expects these principles to be rooted in the world around them. While Generation Z prefers the offline in-store experience over the online one, if they are equivalent, things change for the Alpha generation: to be able to convince the Alpha generation, in fact, the retail experience in the store must be better than the shopping on the website.

Sustainable Perfume: “Synthetic” Is Not a Dirty Word

Perfumery companies are working towards greater sustainability, to make eco-friendly fragrances a reality through biodegradable packaging, a focus on social responsibility or the increasing use of synthetic raw materials.
Says fragrance expert Karen Gilber: “There is a tendency to believe that natural is safer than synthetic, and as much as I'd like it to be true, it just isn't, for example because natural materials are highly concentrated and rich in allergens".
