Scents hold memories โ€” this profound connection was brought to life during the first of the four Chemistry Youth Lectures of the Department of Chemistry, held on March 25 at Labrador Hall. The session, titled โ€œOlfactory Influence: The Psychological Power of Fragrance Chemistry,โ€ was led by Ms. Louise Erika Z. Vargas, RCh. The lecture served as a deep dive into the invisible molecules trapped inside a bottle and how they influence mood, emotions, and personal recollections.

What a way to kick off MEOOWS 2026! Our first week of the College of Science Centennial Celebration started with a literal "scent-sation."

It was more than just a chemistry lesson; it was a look at how science shapes our moods, memories, and daily lives. We are so proud to share this centennial milestone with the next generation of scientists!

Grateful to share my expertise in fragrance creation with UST Chemistry students and high school students from Ateneo Casa Famiglia yesterday ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ

I've shared a short lecture and games with our attendees. Our high school students got the chance to create their own signature scents in the workshop. I'm beyond glad that these young scientists get their hands creative in creating scents.

I'm happy and still can't move on with the lecture and workshop we had yesterday. It's fun and fulfilling sharing all I know to the new generation of scientists and artists. This is an avenue for them to create a link between arts and sciences, learning and enjoying at the same time! ๐Ÿงชโš›๏ธ

Thank you once again to my Alma Mater, University of Santo Tomas, to our dearest organization, UST Chemical Society, and of course the UST Chemistry Department. Such a wonderful experience for curious and artistic kids! ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿค

Glad that I was able to share my journey in the personal care industry, moreover on how I grew in this career as a cosmetic formulator and fragrance developer. The beauty industry is rapidly growing in the Philippines, specifically on skincare and fragrance. That's why this talk is so important to encourage our future chemists to create something beautiful not just beautifying themselves, but also understanding what really our skin, hair and body needs ๐Ÿงด

So grateful to Adamson for having me as their speaker for The Professional Formula: A Chemistry Career Symposium ๐Ÿงชโš›๏ธ

Lactonic Leather ๐Ÿฅ›๐Ÿ‘ž

Our client requested our Matcha Ivory to lean on a masculine side. We added thyme and a leather accords as desired. Came out good! ๐Ÿ˜Œ

On its first spray, it's matcha-milky-tea scent. However as it dries down, the leather quality sprawls out. Maybe a weird combination, but hey, turned out well (as for me) ๐Ÿ˜…
