When Perfume: The Story of a Murderer was published in the U.S. in 1986, it caused a sensation. It also left an imprint so deep on the minds of two talented perfumers from International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) that in 2000 they began an endeavor to try to bring the odors described in the book to life.

Once the Aardmen have made a film with computer, can they return to the old ways? Go back...

"It's important for individuals to recognize the scale of the problem and that while their contributions are important, they are not going to be significant unless in addition to taking personal action, they encourage government policy that ensures emission reductions are made on a scale and pace that is needed to avoid the dangerous consequences of global warming," explains Daniel Lashof, the science director of the Natural Resources Defense Council climate center...
