Perfume Nation: Hot Takes and Deep Dives in the Fragrance World

Maria Meliora

Dive into the aromatic world of "Perfume Nation," where a scientist, now an AI researcher-turned-influencer, leads engaging debates, insightful interviews, and immersive sniffing sessions. In olfactory design, a chasm exists between industry professionals and perfume lovers. Journalists, bloggers, influencers, marketers, and sales experts are tirelessly contorting themselves to bridge this divide. "Perfume Nation" aims to reconstruct this scattered landscape, decoding the world of scents, one sniff at a time, with a pinch of humor and a dash of professionalism. YT: MariaMeliora

In this video, we unravel the strange history of perfume classification, from the early taxonomies and abstract “fragrance families” to the broken genre labels we still argue over today.Whether you’re trying to figure out what you like or wondering why your favorite scent is technically a chypre—but doesn’t smell like one—this episode will give you a whole new perspective on how perfume is structured, sold, and misunderstood.Let’s decode the madness.#PerfumeClassification #FragranceFamilies #PerfumeGenres #NichePerfume #Fragrance 0:00 Experiencing Scent & Olfaction Basics 6:25 Emotions, Memory & One-Shot Learning 9:17 Limits of Perception – Why We Remember Scents But can't tell them apart 12:05 The Country Without a Constitution – Why Classifications Failed 17:00 Michael Edwards & The Fragrance Wheel 23:10 Fresh, Marine & Mineral Notes – Language Crisis 28:03 Floral Families – From Soft to Spicy 33:00 Gourmands, Orientals & Controversial Namings 37:30 Moss, Patchouli & The Chypre Mystery 44:00 Edmond Roudnitska – How to Train a Nose 54:07 Jean-Claude Ellena’s Nine Doors – A Minimalist Reimagination of Perfume Families 1:02:00 Synthetic vs Natural – Where Perception Wins 1:05:23 Why Community Matters More Than Ever – Classification as Shared Language Sniff for yourself: https://www.melioraparfums.com/shopThank you for your trust and support, see you soon in the next video 💋Contribute to keep our community going: https://www.melioraparfums.com/checkout/donate?donatePageId=643dc3d558b7446e3e36b115Contact Info:Social media: @pefume.nation.podcast, @meliora.mariaOfficial Website: https://melioraparfums.comFashion + Aerial Arts: www.aerialgoth.com✍ Channel's Address: Maria Meliora P.O.

    Smell in the Age of AI: What Machines Know About Perfume (That We Don’t)

    Let’s dive into the AI-powered future of fragrance—where machines are learning to predict, design, and even manipulate scent in ways we never imagined. Can artificial intelligence outsmart human perfumers? Why do some perfumes last for hours while others vanish in minutes? How are brands using captive molecules and trade secrets to lock out competitors and control the industry? Maria Meliora asks Rich Whitcomb from Osmo to reveal how neural networks and molecular data are mapping chemistry to scent perception. We explore the puzzles of longevity, the role of “silent enhancers,” and hear hot takes on useful vs. overrated molecules like Iso E Super, Ambroxan, and pheromone marketing—plus what even the almighty AI still struggles with. If you’ve ever wondered why perfume dupes never smell quite right, why some ingredients mysteriously disappear, or what the next Chanel No. 5 for Gen Alpha might be, this episode is for you.🔥 Challenge our guests!
