RE: Passport to Perfume


Passport to Perfume – Developer perspective
Angel Inokon

A field research trip to a world famous perfumer is a dream come true for most women – for me as a female producer - it was an eye opener into the decadent word of luxurious perfumes and one which truly informs the game experience in the upcoming game title, “Passport to Perfume”.

Passport to Perfume is a PC/Mac game that offers players the chance to engage in an end to end perfumery experience where you play the role of Sophia, a young adventure-seeker, perfume maker and shop owner in the 1940’s. The game encompasses three game genres: time management, economic sim and hidden object as you manage a perfume shop, create scents, select from an elegant perfume bottle inventory and sell your creations to customers. Your adventures don’t stop there either - on weekends, you get to travel the world searching for rare ingredients and exotic perfume bottles.

In making the game, the PlayFirst team and our development partner, Mean Hamster wanted to truly reflect the art of perfume making in the game world by immersing the player in the experience from the concept stage and sourcing the ingredients right through to selling the final product and setting the right market price.

We ventured out of our offices to “YOSH Olfactory Sense”, the downtown San Francisco perfume studio of Yosh Han. Yosh is the founder and an extremely passionate perfumer who has been practicing her art for 15 years. Her perfumery crafts signature scents for customers around the world including celebrities such as Nick Hornby and Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket).

Yosh has a patented process of selecting scents, using various natural ingredients, some classic and several very unique and exotic scents of which we had never heard. Our research unearthed many facets of the art of perfume making that amazed us such as how scent can be matched to personalities and how talented Yosh was at predicting which scents we would steer towards based on our characteristics.

In our research of the perfume market, we also learned that the industry is now producing several new “bespoke” scents and tailored fragrances for a more demanding clientele. Perfumers are also now leaning towards scents that are made with perfume oil and natural botanicals instead of alcohol which is how master perfumes crafted their wares centuries ago. In Passport to Perfume, Sophia’s quest to uncover the formula for Marie Antoinette’s perfume also seeks to uncover the classic, natural ingredients that were so admired in the decadent days of the French bourgeoisie.

As a result of such an inspiring visit, we’ve also featured many common and rarely used botanical ingredients in Passport to Perfume that you can combine to make your own signature scents that you sell in your own perfumery. You can also travel to the geographical areas that produce these botanicals as part of your own field research trip!

Look out for more sneak peeks into Sophias’ world and the exciting features in Passport to Perfume as we uncover more in the lead up to the game release this month!

Sophia’s Perfume Diary: Hot on the Scent of the Olfactory Holy Grail
London, 1947

Something stinks – actually a lot of things stink right now.

It’s kind of ironic since I’m currently grinding one of my favorite raw ingredients for a new perfume. Tiger lily. What a sweet, bright, floral scent this is! There’s nothing like the scent of freshly cut lilies. Just beautiful! The memories this scent evokes for me always make me happy then sad – sort of like the flower itself. They say the flowers of the tiger lily only last for a short period of time before they wither and are replaced by newer flowers. Somehow that seems to reflect my feelings today – good memories eclipsed by bad memories only to be replaced by good memories again. And so it goes…

The last time I saw my father was in Brazil over ten years ago. I miss him. I often think back fondly to the days we spent adventuring on our dual quest to uncover the secrets of one of history’s most fascinating regal figures - Marie Antoinette.

Our relentless quest was - and still is - to uncover the elusive recipe for her perfume. Revered and ultimately reviled for her luxurious lifestyle, Marie Antoinette possessed the most decadent olfactory potions of her time, having her own court perfumer deliver exotic combinations of her favorite scents in elaborately decorative perfume pots. Being able to recreate this scent for my most prized customers today is my biggest ambition.

My father and I were so close to finding the recipe on our last expedition back in 1936 but my father tragically fell prey to a rockslide in Brazil and was dragged down a pit taking his notepad with him – the notepad that held priceless information leading to the prized recipe.
My personal ambitions and love of perfume is not surprising when you consider my genetics. My father is English which is why my perfume shop is based here in London but my mother is descended from a long line of Romanian gypsies. Coming from such a nomadic culture, she has an amazing knowledge of natural botanics and instinctively knows which scents, flavors and ingredients work best together whether she’s cooking or choosing a perfume for the right occasion. I suppose I’m a perfect combination of my parents when I think of it – I have a little bit of the classic English conservatism which you’ll notice from the décor in my perfume shop but I also have an adventurous streak which brings out the wanderer in me and frequently leads me to exotic locales.

Right now my raw materials are getting low and I need to get packed for my next trip to source new perfume ingredients and perfume bottles. I’m very proud of the unique and exotic perfumes I sell - I personally research and sample every new ingredient for my perfumes.

I’ll write from my new location next time with more news and hopefully some updates on my quest!

are we doing it level by level or just final score?

if the former, be warned, you can't see your level score after you've gone to the next level...

Yes you can, just put your mouse cursor over a star/check over a completed level. It will show your score for that level. This screen is where it shows what levels you have completed.
