52-year-old French saleswoman Katia Apalategui and her son are to launch a business selling bottles of perfume containing the scent of deceased loved ones.
Katia was inspired by seeing how her mom kept her dad's pillowcase after he died, as she found the scent of him comforting. Le Havre University helped her out with the technical details:
Each bottle will be tailor-made, obviously, and will retail for around €560 (about $600). Katia also hopes the scents can be used as gifts between lovers for Valentine's Day, or even from parents to their children, if they have to be temporarily separated.
