Eurofragance launches scent inspired by astronauts\' accounts

The smell of space now on Earth
Eurofragance has introduced a new aroma inspired by accounts provided by various astronauts. The fragrance, which is described as the smell of the cosmos, complements Eurofragance’s philosophy perfectly as natural elements and raw materials have been reconstructed to the maximum. Pleasant but unusual notes have been used to echo the smoky smell of grilled meat and the smell of liquid molten iron – interpreted by astronauts as the odour of space.

Perfumer Bettina Perisson and flavourist Alfonso Gómez both agree that their goal was to create a scent never before experienced as the concept of space remains undiscovered to the majority of human beings.
