Many thousands of chemical molecules are used in the
perfume industry, and the result is gorgeous. You can pay
for a personal scent/cologne to be custom designed for
you, with the perfumier taking into account personal
preferences to create something unique to you.
Chemicals (in this case
organic) can be combined to
encode data [Smartwater link].
This idea combines both. The perfumier selects aroma
components to suit your preferences, but molecularly
encodes your message. Could be “Hiya”, an email
address,
or “Leave me alone” - your choice. Or the coordinates of
the secret nuclear base in the arctic tundra.
Probably need a gas chromatography set up to de-code
the
message though.

Expensive scents already transmit a message: "I am shallow, insincere, credulous and value form and appearance over functionality. I also probably have a poor body image and low self-esteem. " |
|
| |
Then again, jewellry does the same job ... |
|
| |
That's cheap jewellery, [8th]; one of your 'e's has already fallen
off. |
|
| |
Either that, or someone has pinched it to sell at a rave. |
|
| |
I disagree about jewelry. Throughout history some of the
most powerful and beautiful, confident women have adorned
themselves with gems. It adds a touch of glamour, and helps
to make your plain outfit, special. |
|
| |
I don't care if it sends a message to the opposite sex or not,
but if I look down and see a sparkling ruby bracelet on my
arm, it makes me happy. There, tada, that's my two cents. |
|
| |
If I look down and see a ruby bracelet on my arm, I think "shit,
I've put on the wrong arm again". |
|
| |
Take no notice of [8th]. His idea of sophistication is having a
separate napkin and handkerchief. |
|
| |
That's pretty rich coming from someone who's sibling is clearly convinced that "spittoon", "urinal", vomitorium" and "Christmas tree urn at the orphanage" all refer to the same item of furniture. |
|
| |
It woudn't be quite so bad if it weren't for the fact that your family are almost entirely responsible for there being a requirement for an orphanage in the first place. |
|
| |
[bliss] if you know where to get a sparkling ruby bracelet for two cents, we strongly advise that you keep quiet about it if there are any Buchanans in the vicinity. It's quite something when the Ferengi start whining about "unfair contract terms" and "unethical business practices" ... |
|
| |
Snooty people with your napkins and forks and such... |
|
| |
You have no idea ... for a formal banquet at Buchanan Towers, the place setting extends up to three metres on each side of the guest's seat, and requires two footmen to assist with the cutlery. |
|
| |
The shocked silence when an inattentive guest reached for the wrong salt spoon was startling; it even shut up [MB]'s Aunt Malignata for several seconds, and the only thing that can do that in normal circumstances is a scold's bridle ... |
