Reviving the navy chalk-stripe suit: Ciardi DB in Fox collab cloth
September 04, 2024BruceDayneReviving the navy chalk-stripe suit: Ciardi DB in Fox collab cloth
||- Begin Content -||
In the past few months on Permanent Style, we’ve shown a few outfits that are a little more unusual than perhaps typical: a notch or two further along the subtle/showy scale.
The Art du Lin suit at Pitti probably falls into that category, as does this evening outfit with Bucherer. Both are stylish ways to wear tailoring, but they’re not really office wear - and not everyday clothing at all for most people.
One reason is that I’m interested how tailoring can find a new outlet as evening or occasion-wear - times when you have an excuse, if not necessarily a need, to dress up. As fewer and fewer people wear suits to work, this feels like one of tailoring’s biggest opportunities. It’s something we touched on last year looking at cocktail attire.
A nice aspect of this trend is that it can give traditional materials a new lease of life. A mohair or solaro suit has long been too unusual for most people day-to-day, but when you want something just that little bit unusual, they become relevant again.
For me, chalk-stripe flannel falls into that category. It hasn’t been common in business clothing for a long time, but it remains a beautiful heritage cloth. Wearing it as an elegant option in the evening is a great way to revive it.
That was one reason I wanted to make a navy chalk-stripe flannel with Fox Brothers - one of three collaboration cloths we launched earlier this month.
For me, this suit is something I’lll wear regularly in the autumn and winter, much as I already wear my brown single-breasted chalk stripe. But I’m a menswear writer poncing around Mayfair. I’m not the typical reader.
More readers, I think, will find it useful when they want to wear a suit to an event or dinner party and a navy business suit seems, well, too business. This chalk stripe, particularly in a double-breasted cut, feels far removed from the office today, and it suits being worn with less corporate things as well.
Examples of these things are the tops I've shown it with above: a heavy western shirt from Husbands and a black collared knit (the PS Dartmoor).
I particularly like the look with denim, as the dense Fox flannel has many things in common with that robust cotton. The jacket could almost function as a coat here, and I think I’ll often wear it this way in the winter - flannel suit and denim shirt, with options of vest, scarf and hat to layer for the weather.
I’ve also tried the suit with my Bryceland’s sawtooth westerner in a dark denim, and that’s a great combination, perhaps even better than the pale blue. They’re all good with a belt too, in fact I should probably have worn one of my Ludens belts with this outfit, as an extra point of interest.
That blue denim shirt can create - for me - also a day-in-town outfit. The black knit above, however, is something I’d probably keep for evening.
I love black knits under tailoring - it’s something I showed last year with my brown chalk stripe, and with that Art du Lin in the summer. I wasn’t sure it would work as well with navy, but as I deliberately picked with the darkest of navy flannels - something Fox didn’t already offer as a chalk stripe - it seems to work well with black.
And the chalk stripe does look great with a regular and tie, if you want to wear it that way (below). I like a thinner stripe for the shirt, and then a block of dark colour for the tie. It’s a long time since I’ve talked about things like density of pattern, but they haven't stopped being true.
The shirt is my old blue/white cotton/linen from 100 Hands, and the tie a black knitted silk.
Other things the navy chalk stripe looks great with are beaten-up caps, for a bit of high/low feeling (below) and pops of complimentary colour like red in the PS Watch Cap (above).
As for wearing the jacket separately, that would be one more notch along the spectrum but it can work for those that like more unusual looks. I’ll explore it in a separate post, alongside wearing the trousers separately too.
I should say, I know there will always be people whose personality and style suit these more fashion-y looks - people like Niyi perhaps, who I know would wear it very well. It’s just less me and less the core PS reader, so we tend to focus on it less.
Menswear is a broad church these days. You need to maintain a little focus to remain useful.
The collaboration cloths we’ve done with Fox have sold well, but interestingly this chalk stripe has been the most sampled and least ordered. Hopefully these images help with people’s questions, but if some remain please do ask below.
The full details on the collab can be seen in the launch article. The cloths are available through the Fox website and to tailors through their normal channels.
The suit was made my Sartoria Ciardi, in the same double-breasted style as I had in pieces like my grey corduroy jacket. The only difference here was that I asked Enzo to make the lapel roll a little lower and more open, which i think balances his slightly pointy lapel style.
The trousers are also considerably fuller than Ciardi have done in the past. If I compare them to the first suit they made for me, there’s a full inch more in the thighs. Another data point on how things have changed (moderately) in the intervening six years.
Other clothes shown are:
- Suede/alligator Sagan loafers from Baudoin & Lange
- Black calf Piccadilly loafers from Edward Green
- Cap from Ralph Lauren via Crowley Vintage
- Tie from Tie Your Tie in Florence

Your Sun Care Habits At 30 Can Lead To Skin Cancer When You're 60
September 04, 2024BruceDayneSure, you like to get a tan every summer, or maybe you’ve been known to indulge in a few tanning-bed sessions before a big event or winter vacation. But as long as your skin looks good now, you’re doing fine, right? Uh, nope.
No matter how lovely you look today, your skin could already be in danger from slow-growing non-melanoma basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or other forms of skin cancer.
“A tan may look good to you now, but later you’ll regret it when you have to have surgeries on your face and body to remove skin cancer,” said dermatologist Dr. Claire Wolinsky.
The regret is real, said dermatologist Dr. Hadley King. “It’s important to realize that there’s no such thing as a healthy tan, even if you aren’t burning, since tanning is a defense mechanism that gets turned on when the DNA of skin cells is damaged by UV radiation.”
When you look in the mirror and like what you see, it can be hard to imagine the possibility of skin cancer, said dermatologist Dr. Corey L. Hartman, but it can happen. “Younger skin is more resilient than older skin, so someone who gets sunburned in their 30s will likely see it clear up and resolve itself much quicker than someone in their 60s. Think of it this way — all the time you spend on your skin care routine, and the money you spend on skin care products, means very little unless you’re protecting your skin from the sun.”
It can take a long time — even decades — to develop skin cancer.
“Skin cancer is often a slow-developing disease, meaning it can take years, even decades, for the effects of sun exposure to manifest as cancerous lesions,” said dermatologist and Mohs surgeon Dr. Saami Khalifian. “Most basal cell carcinomas, for example, are a result of chronic sun exposure, and they can take anywhere from 15 to 30 years to develop.”
“Skin cancer is an accumulation of DNA abnormalities and DNA damage, so it could take many, many years to detect,” said dermatologist Dr. Michelle Henry. “You need to remember that your skin never forgets any exposure to the sun.”
If you’re thinking that the odds are on your side, think again. “There are several million cases of basal cell carcinoma diagnosed each year in the United States alone,” Dr. Khalifian said. And with BCC skin cancer cases increasing by 10% every year, people who are 30 now are more at risk than their parents and grandparents ever were.
Do this: Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every day (and maybe some vitamin C).
It’s just this simple, according to the experts we talked with: Don’t ever, ever leave the house without wearing sunscreen. If you think it’s only a summertime or sunny day necessity, you’re already on the wrong track, said dermatologist Dr. Mina Amin. “Wear it every day, all year round, regardless of the weather or temperature,” she said.
When you’re shopping, read sunscreen labels, Khalifian said: “Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, ideally with iron oxide tint to also block out visible light, which can lead to melasma and other brown pigmentation of the skin.” And don’t be shy about applying and reapplying. “Slather on your sunscreen, and use lots of it,” Henry said. “It’s always better to be proactive than reactive.”
Once you’ve applied sunscreen, you can’t just check out, said Dr. Abrahem Kazemi. “Plan ahead so it’s applied 15 minutes prior to leaving your home, and then reapply it every two hours when you’re outdoors in direct sunlight.”
Consistency matters a great deal, these dermatologists said. “Studies have tracked the skin of people who used sunscreen every day, regardless of the weather or their daily activities, compared to people who only used sunscreen on days that were particularly sunny, when they’d be spending significant time outside,” King said. “Those who used sunscreen every day had skin that aged significantly better.”
Even if a car seems like an enclosed space, you shouldn’t drive without sunscreen. “I often see more sun damage on the left side of the face compared to the right side, because the sun can cause damage on the road,” Amin said. (Antipodean side note: King pointed out that in Australia, where they drive on the other side of the road, “people tend to have more sun damage on their right side.”)
In addition to sunscreen, you might want to start using a topical antioxidant with vitamin C. “Apply it first thing in the morning after cleansing,” said aesthetic physician Dr. Rachel Reyes-Bergano. “This will help fight oxidative stress brought on by UV exposure.”
Don’t do this: sunburns and tanning beds.
One of the most important commitments you can make is to never, ever get another sunburn. “Just five or more sunburns in your lifetime can double your risk of developing melanoma, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD),” Khalifian said. You’re making a big mistake if you aren’t wearing a hat, sunglasses and long sleeves when you go outside. “If you don’t have protection like that, you can increase your skin’s exposure to harmful UV rays, further contributing to the cumulative damage over time,” he added.
More tips? Never sit out directly in the sun, Wolinsky said. And, if you really love how you look with a tan, she suggested self-tanner instead of using a tanning bed. Dermatologist Dr. Brendan Camp said that tanning beds can increase the risk of developing basal cell, squamous cell and melanoma skin cancer. “The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the WHO’s International Agency of Research on Cancer panel have declared ultraviolet radiation from the sun and artificial sources, such as tanning beds and sun lamps, to be a known carcinogen, or cancer-causing substance,” he said.
No matter your age, pay attention to skin health.
Wolinsky cited this experience from her own practice: “My patients who develop skin cancer are often upset that they weren’t more careful with sun exposure in their youth. And those folks are also prime candidates for sun spots, enlarged pores and poor skin texture, too.”
No matter your age, Camp said, it’s important not just to follow these guidelines, but also to have regular skin checks. “For early detection, consult with a board-certified dermatologist to evaluate existing and changing moles and skin growths.” Hartman added that some people might want to do even more: “If you’ve had skin cancer in the past, or have a family history of skin cancer, you should get your skin checked more frequently throughout the year.”

HuffPost Readers' Favorite Mineral Sunscreens
Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Mineral Milk Sunscreen SPF 30
Alongside our readers, both Pamela Anderson and Hailey Bieber are fans of Summer Fridays’ ShadeDrops SPF 30 mineral sunscreen. It's a great option for anyone looking for a lightweight, naturally radiant finish that protects from UV rays while also providing nourishing ingredients to the skin. Made with vegan and cruelty-free ingredients, this sunscreen is formulated with zinc oxide, squalane, chamomile and an antioxidant blend of vitamin E and ethyl ferulate. They work together to shield the skin from sun damage and to hydrate, soften and smooth the skin and protect against further damage from free radicals.
Supergoop! Mineral Sheer Screen SPF 30
Dr. Brendan Camp, a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology, recommended this reader-fave screenie. "This is a 100% mineral sunscreen product that offers SPF 30 protection," Camp said. "The labeling also includes information about protection from UVA radiation, PA (protection grade of UVA), which many sunscreens do not report." It also shields the skin from blue light. It's completely sheer so you don't have to worry about a white cast and has a lightweight finish that won't weigh your skin down.
Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face mineral sunscreen SPF 50
"This lightweight, non-greasy product provides SPF 50 protection and contains zinc oxide as the active ingredient," Camp said. It's specially formulated with antioxidants to be water-resistant, is naturally sourced and dries down quickly without leaving a greasy finish.
HuffPost Readers' Favorite Chemical Sunscreens
Supergoop! Glow Screen SPF 40
High on my personal list of sunscreen essentials is Supergoop! Glow Screen, and I'm thrilled to see it is one of our readers' top picks from our chemical sunscreen story. It's what I reach for when I want a hint of tint and shimmer. It's basically your skin, but better — plus sun protection. It's available in four different shades and has a slightly heavier finish than other chemical sunscreens, in part because of the tint component. But since it essentially replaces foundation for me, I don't mind that it isn't as lightweight as others. The pearlescent finish gives skin an immediate glow while hyaluronic acid and niacinamide hydrate, nurture and help to diminish the look of common signs of aging. This was also a top reader pick from our article featuring
sunscreens with anti-aging ingredients!SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense sunscreen
Along with the rest of the SkinCeuticals line, HuffPost readers swarm to this popular, luxurious sunscreen. Not only does the chemical formulation protect against sun damage, it claims to actively work to diminish the look of discoloration, helping to brighten and even out skin tone thanks to ingredients like tranexamic acid and niacinamide. Reflective pigments help to give the skin an immediate glow, making it ideal for someone looking to perk up their skin quickly and visibly. This was also a top pick from our article about the best sunscreens with anti-aging ingredients!
Beauty of Joseon probiotic SPF 50+
If you're a fan of Korean beauty products, then you're going to want to stock up on this gorgeous sunscreen. It's wildly popular among the skin care set, with everyone from beauty lovers to influencers touting its skin-enhancing abilities. It's my go-to daily sunscreen — primarily because it perfectly splits the difference between a fluid and a cream — and I'm thrilled to see it top the chemical sunscreen list of faves. It has a bit more grip than a fluid finish but doesn't feel as heavy or oily as a full-on cream or moisturizer. I rarely get more compliments than when I head out wearing this sunscreen and a touch of concealer. As with all Korean beauty products, it's important to remember to only purchase via reputable sites like Stylevana. It does take about two to three weeks to arrive, so I usually order two at a time to tide me over, but each tube lasts around three months, making it worth the already low price and shipping wait time.
HuffPost Readers' Favorite Korean And Japanese Beauty Sunscreens
Round Lab moisturizing birch juice sun cream
According to Flores' previous article on Korean and Japanese beauty sunscreens, "this hydrating daily sun cream by Round Lab is lightweight, non-greasy and fast-absorbing and doesn't leave a white cast. The broad-spectrum SPF 50 formula feels cool and refreshing on the skin and contains both birch tree sap and hyaluronic acid to help keep skin moisturized throughout the day." It was one of HuffPost readers' top three picks and with good reason!
Biore UV Aqua Rich Sunscreen Water Essence facial sunscreen
Shopping writer Tessa Flores pointed out in previous coverage that, "A prime example of water-based Japanese sunscreens, Bioré UV's Aqua Rich SPF 50 sun essence is a feather-light and oil-free gel formula that feels virtually undetectable on the skin and is compatible with all skin types including those who are acne-prone. It's infused with hyaluronic acid for lasting hydration and breathable protection that layers seamlessly under makeup." No wonder HuffPost readers couldn't get enough.
Isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel
Both Flores and myself have covered this reader-beloved sunscreen in the past. It's great for people with dry skin and anyone who loves a dewy (not greasy) finish. I love that is white-cast-free and has hydrating ingredients including eight different types of hyaluronic acid to help strengthen the moisture barrier and keep skin hydrated all day long. It boasts a hypoallergenic formula that is great for those with sensitive or compromised skin, and has been a popular pick among K-beauty fans for many years.
HuffPost Readers' Favorite Water-Resistant Sunscreens
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk sunscreen SPF 60
If you're as big a fan of French pharmacy beauty products as I am (and according to our data, you are), try La Roche-Posay's various sunscreens. In my opinion, their Anthelios melt-in sunscreen is by far their most exciting formulation. This super lightweight SPF truly does melt into the skin, leaving it dewy, natural-looking and non-greasy while providing a whopping SPF 100 protection that is also water-resistant. Your skin will love it.
SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense mineral sunscreen
Skin care devotees will likely be familiar with SkinCeuticals' line of high-end serums and creams, but did you know that its sun protection products are just as effective and good for your skin? You likely do now, because this was one of our bestselling water-resistant sunscreens. This has a subtle tint that gives skin a radiant glow without leaving behind a thick white cast or oily residue. It's a surprisingly lightweight mineral formula that is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes and can also help to defend skin against environmental stressors.
Vacation Classic Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 travel size three-pack
I can't get enough of the entire Vacation lineup, and it was the clear frontrunner for readers looking for water-resistant sunscreen. It has a really clean, lightweight finish that disappears into the skin leaving behind a delicious coconut-forward summery scent. It is easy to rub into skin and is water-resistant, making it ideal for all manner of summertime activities. It's also packed with skin-friendly ingredients like vitamin E, niacinamide, banana extract, aloe vera and coconut oil that help to soothe, soften and nourish skin. You can't go wrong with a three-pack of travel sized options from Amazon, just pop one in each of your bags and in your bathroom cabinet for easy access. Or you can purchase them individually and full-size at Ulta.
HuffPost Readers' Favorite Sunscreens At Amazon
Sun Bum Original SPF 50 sunscreen
You can't go wrong with sunscreen classic, Sun Bum — no wonder it's a HuffPost readers' top pick at Amazon. This moisturizing sunscreen lotion is clearly a crowd favorite. It's oxybenzone-, octinoxate- and oil-free, plus water-resistant.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen spf 40
This cult-favorite and HP reader-favorite sunscreen from Supergoop has a clear, lightweight and unscented formula so you don't have to deal with an irritating white cast. It's also oil-free and great for anyone who might have sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch sunscreen
Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer sunscreen is lightweight and fast-absorbing, making it especially ideal for use on hot summer days. It even provides up to 80 minutes of water resistance — no wonder it's a popular reader go-to.
HuffPost Readers' Favorite Sunscreens For Mature Skin
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light sunscreen SPF 50
According to Dr. Marisa Garshick, a board-certified dermatologist at MCDS Dermatology, "This ultralight sunscreen fluid is mineral-based, containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, but also offers a fast-absorbing, lightweight texture. It is easy to apply and also offers antioxidant protection." It's also one of HuffPost readers' favorite options for mature skin.
CeraVe hydrating mineral sunscreen SPF 50
Garshick noted that "[t]his hydrating formulation contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to provide broad-spectrum coverage. In addition, it contains hyaluronic acid to help provide moisture, ceramides to help support the skin’s natural barrier as well as niacinamide which can soothe the skin. This mineral sunscreen is fragrance- and paraben-free making it a good option even for those with dry or sensitive skin." Readers agree!
La Roche Posay Anthelios XL 50 Anti-Shine Dry Touch gel-cream SPF 50+
Dr. Corey L. Hartman, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology in Birmingham, Alabama personally uses this sunscreen. He says it "applies easily and doesn't leave the skin feeling extra shiny or sticky. It also doesn't leave a white cast on my skin." It absorbs quickly and has soothing antioxidant ingredients that HuffPost readers can't get enough of.

AI Perfume: The Future of Fragrance Creation?
September 04, 2024BruceDayne
The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on various domains can be palpably felt at such an unprecedented speed that it transforms everything, including the fragrance industry.
Enter AI perfume design. If you've fallen in love with an algorithm on the Internet, there is no problem; it will make you a perfumer and create new customized scents for you based on the algorithms.
Before delving into the potential of AI-assisted perfumes, let us first define an AI perfume and why it matters to the perfume business.
What is AI Perfume?
AI perfume is the term that encompasses all fragrances formulated through the artificial intelligence medium.
Traditional perfume-making methods have often depended on the mastery and intuition of the master perfumer's nose as scents are blended. This is achieved mainly through the participation of machine learning algorithms that create and publish franchises deploying considerable combinations of the data patterns at texts ‘Sent:.'
By considering what customers want, what is available in the market, and what ingredients have been used before, AI is able to appeal to customers in ways that haven't been done before.
Examples of AI Perfume Companies
EveryHuman's so-called “algorithmic perfumery” is a fine example of different businesses engaged in AI perfume creation. In this case, the company's clients participate in an original procedure based on a questionnaire about their tastes.
After studying the results, the AI creates a custom-scented product by itself.
Because data inputs are used to develop each fragrance, the end product is relevant to the interests of a given demographic.
The Development Process of AI Perfume
The first step concerns data collection, including customers' opinions regarding certain products, the most popular fragrances, and what is currently on the market.
This information is put into algorithms that develop possible effective fragrance mixtures.
These are then validated and improved until the most desirable odor is obtained. The fragrance is very different from others but also very fitting to the person wearing it.
AI and Smell
The most daring undertaking in the sphere of AI perfume is probably Google's attempt to recreate smell in the virtual realm. Google's lending research ethnicities endeavors to track and pursue tissues that have an odor, closer to forty million olfactory molecules.
Only about one hundred million of these smelling molecules have been cataloged. Google's data analysis of all these unknown perfumes could bring them to light and change the world of perfumes forever.
The Scale of the Challenge
This project is one that is almost impossible to quantify. With only a small number of odor-bearing molecules characterized, Google's AI model is still in the league of the toughest searches in the arena of sensory AI.
The boundaries of this research are not limited to perfume; comprehending the molecular composition of scents may assist in delivering various other industries, such as food, healthcare, and more.
The Future Impact
However, this success has the potential to lead to new discoveries in the field of science. Google's AI model will help find previously non-existent smells. The fragrance industry would benefit from this, as it will make it possible to create perfumes that are currently impossible.
This improvement in the ability to recognize and reproduce complex smells could lead to inventions we have yet to even consider in creating mural scents.
What if there was a way to instantly boost your brain, so that you can get straight into “the zone” – fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, where you perform at your best (without caffeine or stimulants)?
Well… there is! Introducing the sponsor of today's article – Mission Fragrances: the world’s first Performance Enhancing Colognes.
Click here to discover Mission Fragrances, and leverage the Science of Scent to take back control of your life, make smarter decisions faster, and live with energy, focus, and conviction.
The Sensory AI Meta Trend
AI perfumes are more inclusively referred to as constituting a giant trend known as Sensory AI. This meta trend encompasses anything related to the development of AI systems that can incorporate learning through multiple inputs, such as smell, hearing, and sight, including other more novel approaches.
Over the last 24 months, the search for “sensory AI” has increased by 380%, emphasizing the industry's long-term attractiveness.
What is Sensory AI?
Sensory AI is a new technology or response-inducing device in which the AI equipment is trained with other sensory data. Whereas traditional AI mainly receives visual or text information, Sensory AI takes cognizance of more than one sense, helping it perceive the world more like humans.
Similarly, in the case of perfumes, sensory AI can analyze other sensory parameters in addition to scent data and, hence, create better perfumes.
How Sensory AI Works
One specific instance of sensory AI is Meta's ImageBind AI model. This rather interesting machine is intended to fathom six types of sensory data: visual, auditory, olfactory, and four others.
In its research stage, Meta thinks that ImageBind will one day span the generation of multiple sensory content, which will bring some advances to what AI is being used for and modify the trend in the conventional marketing industry.
Potential Applications in AI Perfume
As sensory AI progresses, its scope of application, especially in the fragrance industry, could grow more advanced.
Future AI models may be designed to capture not only scent data but also sense how those scents blend with other inputs such as visual imagery, in this case, sophisticated bottle packaging, and dramatic sounds for the marketing of the scent.
That would be good for even further demand as people get even more worked up about the scent and absolutely do all possible to get personally fitted scents.
Benefits and Challenges of AI Perfume
Benefits
- Personalization: AI's strength lies in its capacity to mine vast amounts of data, suggest perfumes, and make and design them to the exact tastes of individuals. Such a paradigm of context-based tailoring could have been more achievable through the former methods.
- Creativeness: With the presence of AI, there is a potential for new scent combinations and fragrance elements that would not be possible even from the skilled hands of human perfumers. This invention could even foster completely different perfume categories.
- Efficiency: The introduction of AI in wearable fragrance formulations reduces the steps of the process, making it serviced within the shortest time and at lower costs. AI would be helpful in saving a lot of time when coming up with new perfumes by coming up with many combinations of scents and testing them quickly.
Challenges
- Societal Values: Many people still have an ethical problem with how AI is used, particularly regarding personal information. Thus, companies should do a responsible data collection campaign.
- Global Acceptance: There are boundaries with the application of AI technology in a well-established perfumery institution, as it tends to eliminate and reduce the beauty and art of handmade perfumes that many perfumers adore.
- Cost and Accessibility: Even though AI perfume has numerous advantages, the technology is still in its infancy, and one of the obstacles is the cost. One of the main difficulties will be ensuring that these novel perfumes are available to many target markets.
The Future of AI Perfume
Trends to Watch
Technological developments warrant collaborations between technology companies and fragrance brands. Such collaborations would enable the innovation of new scents and fragrance experiences.
Further, the proliferation of sensory artificial intelligence may change the periphery of the perfume industry and other industries that rely on sensory aspects.
Consumer Adoption
For now, the acknowledgment of AI perfume is in its infancy; however, interest in such products as personalized items is growing.
As more people benefit from AI-supported perfume-making processes, their attitudes towards adopting such scents may shift, leading to greater adoption in the future.
The companies that will succeed in capturing this market will be the ones that can articulate the benefits of AI perfumes.
Final Thoughts
The reality of AI perfume will only be revealed in the future. Thanks to advances in sensory AI, one can use one's imagination to create new perfumes from scratch.
AI will be firmly integrated into the fragrance industry, as most consumers find exploring new or synthesized fragrances appealing.
Whether you're an expert on particular perfumes or simply curious about something new, this AI perfume trend is worth looking for.

Liam Gallagher to Be New Face of Fashion Brand Stone Island
September 03, 2024BruceDayneBarely a week after ending a bitter feud with his brother, Liam Gallagher is going solo yet again.
Oasis fans need not panic, however. The frontman has been announced as the new face of the fashion brand Stone Island, fronting its autumn and winter campaign.
He has been a fan of the label for years, even lugging its parkas on tour in the middle of summer. In July 2017, he pleaded to the “cunt” who stole some of the brand’s signature jackets from his hotel room at the Glastonbury festival to hand them back, adding “all will be forgiven”.
Other names involved include DJ Peggy Gou – the first woman to be featured in a Stone Island campaign, the actor Russell Tovey and the skateboarder Sage Elsesser.
In his younger years, Gallagher was perhaps best known in the fashion world for crashing the Versace catwalk in 1996. Last year, he teamed up with Adidas to release its LG2 SPZL X trainers, which are white with bottle green stripes.
He even set up his own fashion label, Pretty Green, in 2009. The line, which was launched two months before Oasis’s first breakup, included polo shirts, knitwear, coats and shoes.
While it launched to large fanfare, with 100,000 fans vying for items on its opening day, crashing its website in the process, the label’s popularity waned. The company fell into administration in 2019 and was bought by JD Sports.
Gallagher’s 24-year-old son, Lennon, has also made a foray into fashion, recently starring in a Burberry campaign.
