Netherlands-based artist Lucy McCrae teamed up with a synthetic biologist to create a perfume pill that actually turns your sweat into a fragrance.

Sweat has never been known for its nice odour, but that’s all going to change as soon as “Swallowable Parfum” becomes a reality. Australian artist Lucy McCrae is currently working on a revolutionary pill designed to deliver perfume directly into the body, turning the skin into an atomiser. ’Swallowable Parfum is a digestible scented capsule that emits a unique odor through your own perspiration,’ McCrae writes on her website. The pill will essentially turn sweat into a fragrance that will have its own characteristic for every person, because we are genetically unique.

For this project Lucy teamed-up with synthetic biologist Sheref Mansy, and although swallowable perfume is still in the development skin, the two hope their pill will create a ‘biologically enhanced second skin synthesized directly from the natural processes of the body.’ ”Once absorbed, the capsule enables the skin to become a platform, an atomizer. Fragrance molecules are excreted through the skins surface during perspiration, leaving tiny droplets on the skin that emanate a unique odor,” McCrae says, adding that “thepotency of scent is determined by each individual’s acclimatization to temperature, stress, exercise, or sexual arousal.”

Swallowable Parfum has no scheduled release date yet, but the artist has created a promotional video that describes the perfume pill as a “new cycle of evolution”.

They should've been making these things a long time ago, I HATE getting washed, it's such a waste of time. Whenever I can get away with it, I will. I've always said that they should make a pill to cure this kind of shit.

just what we need! A product that can allow for people to shower even less and use no deodorants/after shave. Can you imagine a packed city bus/public place, hot as hell and surrounded by people using this product instead of proper hygiene. *BARF*

my ex wears something that mixes with what ever perfume or body spray you wear and your own sweat, giving you a personal sweat or something like that

Spme people pour on too much perfume as it is, although I do hate that first hot day of the year when you're in a crowd and peoples' deodorants don't work. It sucks on public transportation!
