Such insights could support more targeted exploration of pungency, irritation and other mouthfeel-related sensations, helping researchers connect molecular structure with sensory performance.https://www.perfumerflavorist.com/events/event-coverage/news/22978381/flavor-and-fragrance-industry-events-novemberdecember-2026-calendar-features-regulatory-updates-fragrance-trends-and-sensory-researchPerfumer & Flavoristen2026-11-12T18:15:43.000ZFlavor and Fragrance Industry Events: November–December 2026 Calendar Features Regulatory Updates, Fragrance Trends and Sensory Researchhttps://img.perfumerflavorist.com/mindful/allured/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/11/pexels-sound-on-3756950.bvvB85jwMD.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70The British Society of Perfumers will host sound and music cognition researcher Dr. Asteris Zacharakis for a presentation exploring how musical structures can evoke scent associations and influence fragrance perception, and whether sound could become another creative tool for perfumers.https://www.perfumerflavorist.com/flavor/regulatory-research/news/22978347/iff-launches-ai-tool-to-turn-consumer-insights-into-food-concepts-in-minutesPerfumer & Flavoristen2026-11-12T15:08:19.000ZIFF Launches AI Tool to Turn Consumer Insights Into Food Concepts in Minuteshttps://img.perfumerflavorist.com/mindful/allured/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/11/iff-concept-muse-november-2026.ycfPmyBkfP.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70The tool uses simple prompts to identify market opportunities and generate concepts complete with product narratives, visual mockups and suggested technologies.https://www.perfumerflavorist.com/fragrance/fine-fragrance/news/22978344/us-9month-beauty-sales-top-829b-as-fragrance-skin-care-drive-growthPerfumer & Flavoristen2026-11-12T15:04:34.000ZU.S. 9-Month Beauty Sales Top $82.9B as Fragrance, Skin Care Drive Growthhttps://img.perfumerflavorist.com/mindful/allured/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/11/adobestock-2200906614.clEjkQpCdU.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Prestige fragrance sales increased 5% to $6.2 billion, led by perfume and eau de parfum.https://www.perfumerflavorist.com/fragrance/ingredients/news/22978332/engineered-organic-frameworks-offer-tunable-fragrance-releasePerfumer & Flavoristen2026-11-11T23:38:58.000ZEngineered Organic Frameworks Offer Tunable Fragrance Releasehttps://img.perfumerflavorist.com/mindful/allured/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/11/pexels-karola-g-7321545.Y8A5LR1xtH.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Carrier chemistry could be matched to the molecular properties of individual fragrance ingredients to achieve specific loading and release profiles. This could support longer-lasting performance in cosmetics and personal care, while potentially improving fragrance stability and reducing rapid evaporation.
