《活色生香》现实版：爱人气味将可制成香水

Thanks to a French company, it might soon be possible to store the comforting scent of a loved one forever. They plan to launch their new line of perfumes made from fragrances that people leave on their clothes, in September.

多亏一家法国公司，你不久将能够永久保存你爱的人的气味。这家公司计划在9月份开发新的香水生产线，它可以把人们留在衣服上的体味保留下来。

The idea for the perfumes belongs to French insurance agent Katia Apalategui. She came up with it seven years ago, when she was devastated about losing her father. At the time, she wished there was a way she could store his scent in a bottle. Apparently, her mother felt the same way: "I also miss the smell and do not want to wash his pillowcase," she had told Katia.

这款新型香水的理念来源于法国的一个保险代理人——卡蒂亚·阿帕拉特圭。她七年前提出这个想法，当时她因为父亲去世而非常伤心，她希望能够通过一种方式来把她父亲的味道保存在瓶子里。显然，她的母亲也有同感，她对卡蒂亚说，"我也很怀念他的味道，所以不舍得清洗他用过的枕套。"

Intrigued by the idea of preserving odor, Katia began to investigate if she could actually make it happen. She tried researching but met with little success, until she came across an innovation agency called Seinari, in Normandy. They put her in touch with the department of organic and macromolecular chemistry at the University of Le Havre. Researchers there were able to explore the possibilities of bringing Katia's idea to life. After much trial and error, they actually developed a technique to extract the odor out of a person's clothes, and reconstitute it as an alcohol-based perfume in only four days' time.
