Formica Fragrance
publication, perfume blend
A graduate project that explored a meaningful form of science communication by designing a speculative perfume with ant pheromone to romanticize a possible ant-to-human interaction. I found that one of the ways to connect on a deeper, physiological level with certain nonhuman species was through the senses that we have in common, smell being one of them.
