Questions for Marcelo Oillataguerre
Hey guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya’! So this next meetup is a pretty cool opportunity to talk with @Marcelo Oillataguerre , aka, The Niche Fragrance Collector, and since time will be limited, I personally don’t want to waste the moment asking the usual “what’s your favorite fragrance?” type of questions! Don’t get me wrong, favorite scent questions are fun. We all love hearing what someone with a serious nose reaches for. But when you’re talking to someone who has smelled deep into the niche world, traveled through a lot of brands, explored different styles and built a real point of view around fragrance, I think the better question is not just 'what do you like?' It’s more like 'how do you think about fragrance now?' Right now, one question I’m leaning toward is this: ----------“With niche fragrance becoming more mainstream and more expensive, what separates a truly artistic niche release from one that is just wearing the "costume" of niche?”---------- That one interests me because we are living in a strange fragrance era. Everything is “exclusive,” everything is “extrait,” everything has a dramatic bottle, a moody campaign and a price tag that looks like it comes with a monthly payment plan. But does that automatically make it art? Or are some brands just throwing on a velvet jacket and charging admission? The other question I’m considering is: ----------“After smelling as much as you have, what has changed the most about your own taste over the years?”---------- Because honestly, that might be the real collector question. Most of us start this hobby chasing compliments, performance, hype or whatever bottle the algorithm keeps shoving in our faces. But over time, your nose changes. Your patience changes. Your standards change. Sometimes the fragrance you've ignored two years ago becomes the one that finally makes sense! What say you, guys? If you only had a few minutes with a serious niche fragrance reviewer, what would you ask? Would you go for something practical, like underrated houses and buying advice, or would you ask something deeper about artistry, taste and the direction of the hobby? Conversely, what is one fragrance reviewer question you are absolutely tired of hearing? Love to hear from ya'!

Advancements In Perfumery (AI predicting how strong a perfume material smells)
Another new area in perfume science is AI trying to predict how strong a perfume material will smell just by looking at its molecular structure. This study was not conducted by one of the big perfume houses, such as Givaudan or Firmenich. It was an academic machine-learning study by Peter Fichtelmann and Julia Westermayr. They used public odor information from sources like The Good Scents Company and PubChem to build a larger data set of more than 2,300 perfume-related molecules, then trained AI models to predict whether a material would smell odorless, weak, medium, or strong. The researchers found that things like molecular size, weight, shape, polarity, rings, and branching can help predict whether a material may come across as weak, moderate, strong, or almost odorless. The study also showed that odor strength is not always easy to separate into perfect categories, because some weak and strong materials can overlap chemically. That shows how complicated smell really is. To me, this is important because it proves performance is not just about “more oil.” A fragrance can have a high oil concentration and still not project as people expect. On the other hand, a tiny amount of the right material can fill a room. That is because the molecule itself matters. A material has to evaporate off the skin, travel through the air, survive long enough to be noticed, and reach the smell receptors in your nose. If a molecule is too heavy, too sticky, too soft, or does not diffuse well, it may sit close to the skin even if the fragrance is expensive or highly concentrated. If a molecule has the right balance of volatility and diffusion, it can feel loud, airy, radiant, or long-lasting. This also helps explain why some perfumes smell powerful in the air but not heavy up close, while others smell rich on skin but do not project much. Projection, longevity, sillage, and strength are related, but they are not all the same thing. A fragrance can last a long time and still be quiet. Another fragrance can project hard for two hours and then fade faster.
