The company uses the information to match the customer with a perfumer, who begins to compose a fragrance, sending samples of the scent until it is refined to satisfaction. The whole process can take three months or more; prices start around $4,500 and go up depending...

I was afraid that the lovers' passionate romantic thoughts, generated as they looked at the photo of a sweetheart, would carry over and contaminate their passive thoughts as they looked at the neutral photo. Art Aron, a research psychologist at SUNY Stony Brook, who joined our team, along with graduate students Deb Mashek and Greg Strong, recommended that we use a "distraction task," a standard psychological procedure to wash the brain clean of emotion.
