In potentially good news for the noses of gymnasium employees and commuters crammed into packed train carriages on hot summer days, scientists at Queen’s University, Belfast claim to have developed the world’s first perfume delivery system that releases more aroma the more a person sweats.
The system, developed by researchers in the Queen’s University Ionic Liquid Laboratories (QUILL) Research Centre, involves placing a raw fragrance onto an odorless ionic liquid. When the resulting “perfumed ionic liquid” comes into contact with water, it releases its aroma by discharging more of the perfume’s scent onto the wearer.
