This sounds like the beginning of a Black Mirror episode… fascinating but kinda scary!
Finally some real science in fragrance industry! Can’t wait to try this when it launches.
Right? This could revolutionize fragrance technology if the claims hold up.
28% dopamine surge seems too good to be true. Where’s the peer-reviewed data?
As someone with social anxiety, I’d pay top dollar for that 41.7% confidence boost 👀
For real! The confidence boost stats got me checking my wallet already.
CRISPR + perfumes? Science is getting wild these days!
How is this different from just taking dopamine supplements? The delivery method?
Patent pending in 42 countries before human trials complete? That’s some big pharma energy right there.
The half-life improvement from 2min to 6.5h is actually insane. Bioengineers are wizards.
Smelling good AND getting high? Sign me up! 😂
Lol same! Though I’d be careful calling it ‘getting high’ – might attract the wrong attention 😅
This better not be another Theranos situation…
The 28% dopamine surge sounds impressive, but I wonder about potential addiction risks with long-term use. Hope they’ve done proper studies.
This is literally mind-altering perfume. How is this even legal?!
Finally, my social anxiety might have a solution that doesn’t involve pills! 🤞
The real question – what’s the scent profile? Can’t be rewiring my brain if it smells bad
As a biochemist, these yield numbers are making me drool. That’s an insane improvement!
