Ask a perfumer where scent is headed and you get two answers that sound like they belong to different centuries. One points to the lab, where an artificial-intelligence company is inventing molecules that have never before existed; the other points to the compost heap, where the industry is learning to make perfume out of what it used to throw away.

Geraldine Nicolai, global head of fine fragrances at Givaudan, tells Allure that garden vegetables may just be the next gourmand. They offer us something fresh while still being “juicy, fun, and natural,” like the vanilla-forward scents consumers love, and the numbers appear to agree: According to data from Spate, vegetable scents are on the rise.
