I think in the sources I read it was more or less compared to a printer's technology relying on cyan-magenta-yellow, but we perfume enthusiasts know it doesn't work that way. Smell is more complex in nuance and psychological emoting. Therefore I do think it needs finetuning still, as you say. Perhaps however it might be used for infomercials or for gaming in Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-53998859466445269372010-01-13T22:19:49.082+00:002010-01-13T22:19:49.082+00:00Natalia,
