Imagine discovering a new color.

That’s what Patina is doing for scent.

For over a century, perfumers have worked within the same palette. The great molecules were discovered decades ago. The rarest naturals are becoming harder to reach.

Scent is our oldest and most elusive sense. Patina is building the technology to understand it. In collaboration with perfumers and creative partners, we make scents that have never existed before. From the highest fidelity replication of Bulgarian Rose Otto to the inside cover of a 1970s paperback, no scent is out of bounds.

Founded by Sean Raspet, an artist and perfumer who has spent the last 12 years studying the molecular structure of scent and flavor, and Laura Sisson, a former Google engineer who has been building machine learning models for olfaction since before it was a field. Patina combines deep expertise in molecular design, machine learning, and perfumery.
