THIS IS NOT SCIENCE FICTION. IT’S SCIENCE POSSIBILITY.
THE SAMPLES
In 2017, synthetic biologists extracted samples of extinct flowers from the Harvard Herbarium.
THE SCIENCE
Through DNA sequencing, scientists identified genes that might encode fragrance-producing enzymes. They printed these codes and inserted them into yeast, which were cultured through a fermentation process to produce scent molecules.
The surrection
We gave these molecules to world-renowned perfumers to formulate the fragrances found in our Scent Surrection Collection.
