220. SEAN RASPET & LAURA SISSON [PATINA] ~ The Quest to Create the Next ISO E Super.

In search of the next great aromachemical (think of predecessors like ISO E Super, Cashmeran, Galaxolide, etc...), Patina Co-Founders Sean Raspet and Laura Sisson spend their days in the lab testing and developing new molecules. What does that mean? What is scent design and how does it work?

And—in the same way every color has its own immutable RGB code, can we empiricize smells? Laura and Sean hope to do just that.
