Scent mixing software lab

Software and a shared formula base for safely mixing perfumes, gels, liquid soaps, rinse fragrances or other liquids in a partner laboratory.

Problem

Scent labs and cosmetic chemistry workshops need a repeatable way to compose perfumes, gels, liquid soaps, rinse fragrances or other liquids. Without shared software, a reagent base and specialist oversight, every mix is manual, hard to repeat and poorly documented for the next group.

Goal

Give partner laboratories clear software and a formula base for safe, repeatable mixing of scent and related liquids.

Solution

We are preparing a pilot: an approved reagent list, digital formulas and a simple control interface (codes and step sequences). Work happens only in a partner lab with a specialist. Workshops with other scent laboratories become possible only after a stable station prototype and an agreed formula base. Algorithm details and protected solutions are discussed away from the public site.

Your role

Scent specialist / chemist
Laboratory supervisor
Mixing-sequence programmer
Formula documentation volunteer
Foundation coordinator

Laboratories need a repeatable way to compose scent and related liquids under specialist supervision.

We are preparing formula software and a simple sequence interface. Workshops with other laboratories become possible only with a reagent base, specialists and a station prototype. Technical details are discussed away from the public site.

Who it is for

Scent and cosmetic chemistry laboratories
Universities (sensory science, chemistry, automation)
Software and quality students
Lab quality and safety specialists
Formula documentation volunteers

First stage

One partner laboratory
A base of 5–10 agreed formulas (gel, liquid soap, rinse fragrance, compositions)
A codes-and-sequences interface without full automation
Safety procedure and consents for formula records

How the foundation model works

The foundation prepares the social programme and formula-software development. The partner laboratory is responsible for the site, reagents and specialist supervision. Lab deployment is the first public validation field for the mixing innovation; technical details and IP protection are discussed away from the public site.

Example social uses

A shared formula base between two partner laboratories
Student exercises on agreed recipes under specialist supervision
Documenting a liquid soap, gel or rinse-fragrance formula
Preparing control sequences before a session with a second lab
Recording an approved reagent list for safe group work

Partnership

We seek scent laboratories and universities for a formula-software pilot. The partner provides the lab, procedure-covered reagents and specialist supervision; the foundation prepares the programme and cooperation rules. Without a laboratory, reagent base and specialist we do not run public workshops.

We are looking for volunteers and academic partners

Across all foundation projects we seek volunteers for field work, documentation, education, logistics and participant care.

For outstanding candidates we offer placements in every format: on-site, remote and hybrid, as well as research commissions, sponsorship of engineering and master's theses, doctoral work and joint research with universities and student research groups.
