Eurofragance launches scent inspired by astronauts\' accounts

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.
