My friend, Nara, invented a perfume making machine that lets you design your own scent based on your taste in music. So what's her song? Perfect best H. A. One year ago, Nara was an explosive chemist with dreams of building her own company. So she did that shit. She built cooking robots, cocktail mixers, premium coffee machines. But none of these things combined her very specific interests of perfume, music, and organic chemistry until she had an idea. First, you take a pop quiz about your favorite music, how you want to feel, and what smells you love the most. And then tier tiny, excuse me, giant machine will mix up perfume on the spot so you'll never have to hunt for the perfect scent again. She built all of this in just four weeks for Blueprint, a program where engineers from around the world build their wildest ideas. She'll be demoing her machine to anyone who pulls up to the Blueprint Festival on November 7. So if you want your perfect sense, comment perfect.
