Scent-Wearable Yunjian Piece Xiangcao Wei Pei Debuts at Milan Design Week
在米兰设计周期间，我们展出了以中国传统云肩为基础的时尚可穿戴作品香草为佩。作品从蕙兰、白芷、杜若与杜衡四种楚辞香草植物中提取纹样和气味线索，并将刺绣、可变形花瓣与气味释放结构融入云肩设计。通过花瓣的形态变化与香气呈现，作品尝试将传统服饰从静态的文化符号转化为可穿戴、可触发和可感知的交互媒介，探索传统文化在当代智能纺织与多感官交互中的新表达。
During Milan Design Week, we presented Xiangcao Wei Pei (Fragrant Herbs as Adornment), a wearable fashion piece rooted in the traditional Chinese yunjian (cloud shoulder). The work extracts motif and olfactory cues from four aromatic plants referenced in Chuci (Songs of the South)—Cymbidium faberi, Angelica dahurica, Alpinia chinensis Hance, and Asarum forbesii—and integrates embroidery, deformable petals, and scent-release mechanisms into the yunjian structure. Through petal morphing and aroma emission, the piece reinterprets traditional attire from a static cultural symbol into a wearable, triggerable, and perceptible interactive medium, exploring new expressions of traditional culture within contemporary smart textiles and multisensory interaction.

Visiting Shanghai University of Applied Science
2025年11月26日上午，本实验室成员赴上海应用技术大学香料香精技术与工程学院交流学习，了解调香领域发展趋势与前沿研究，近距离感受气味科学的魅力。 活动中， 冯涛教授深入解读了嗅觉前沿动态与AI调香发展路径，剖析了气味科学与AI交叉融合的核心技术与应用前景， 为在场成员提供了嗅觉研究的不同视角。随后，在冯教授研究生带领下，大家进入嗅觉实验工作室，参观了两款气味成分分析的核心器械 ，直观感受检测技术的精准与专业，并参与了试香环节——通过将滴有芳樟醇、叶醇、呋喃酮、丁酸乙醇、己酸等成分的试香纸按序扇闻，成功还原出接近完整草莓的气味，真切体会多种单一成分的协同作用。此次交流加深了成员对嗅觉研究前沿技术与应用的理解，也拓展了跨学科创新探索的思路。未来，实验室将持续加强高校学术交流，推动多学科融合，稳步推进创新研究。
On the morning of November 26, 2025, our laboratory visited the School of Flavor and Fragrance Technology and Engineering at Shanghai University of Applied Science for academic exchange, aiming to survey emerging trends and frontier research in perfumery and to gain direct exposure to olfactory science. Professor Feng Tao delivered an in-depth account of recent advances in olfaction and AI-driven fragrance design, elucidating core technologies and application prospects at the interface of odor science and artificial intelligence, thereby offering novel perspectives on olfactory research. Subsequently, accompanied by Professor Feng’s postgraduate students, we toured the olfactory laboratory, where we observed two key instruments for volatile component analysis, appreciated the precision of odor detection techniques, and participated in a sensory session—by sequentially fanning test strips impregnated with linalool, leaf alcohol, furaneol, ethyl butyrate, hexanoic acid, and other compounds, we successfully reconstructed a near-authentic strawberry aroma, empirically demonstrating the synergistic effects of multiple individual odorants. This exchange deepened our understanding of state-of-the-art olfactory technologies and their applications, while also broadening our outlook for interdisciplinary innovation. In the future, the laboratory will continue to strengthen academic collaborations with universities, promote multidisciplinary integration, and steadily advance innovative research endeavors.
