The edible perfumes were created following the partnership between chef Diego Schattenhofer (Taste 1973 Restaurant - Tenerife) and Scentmate by dsm-firmenich. The two perfumes are 100% natural, biodegradable, and formulated with ingredients approved for use in food products.
El Pinar and Medianías de las Islas are the two edible perfumes proposed by the perfumers of Scentmate by dsm-firmenich. Both fragrances feature Emotions fragrance technology, said to allow the design of fragrances that trigger specific feelings linked to certain emotions: energy, happiness, and relaxation, through a study carried out with fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) and a patented process of verbalization of emotions.
Medianías de las Islas is designed to offer an essence that embraces the aromatic variety of Tenerife's fauna and flora, as well as the crops of potatoes, chestnut trees, fruit trees and cereals.
Alfonso Álvarez-Prieto, general manager, and founder of Scentmate by dsm-firmenich, "It is a pleasure to collaborate with a cuisine reference like Diego Schattenhofer and to work with the inspiration offered by a place as evocative as Tenerife".
Marie Hugentobler, creative director and perfumer of Scentmate by dsm-firmenich, in reference to the joint project with Schattenhofer shared, "We have extracted the highest quality ingredients that nature has to offer, to offer bespoke fragrances that evoke deep emotions and capture the essence of each dish."
