Bicho is a speculative scent designed as a potent bug attractor, responding to a future where pollinators are increasingly treated by enfolding ecocides. Agar Olfactory is based in Chicago and is a project in speculative olfaction by Agustine Zegers. It imagines climate disaster and apocalyptic scenarios and the type of smell landscapes that would exist in such events.
From their website: year 2050: miniature electronic pollinators are buzzing around carrying bright pollen from stomata to stomata. you've begun to miss pests, creating trails of sugar to lure ants and hiding petals in your pockets for butterflies to find you. bicho is a tool just for that. it functions as an attractor of all kinds of bugs: wasps seeking the bum of a fig, beetles crowding around jasmine, and ants looking for the sweet sap of a leaf. wear at your own risk. Bicho features notes of crushed leaves, waspy figs, jasmine and camphor. It is a perfume.
I could find no reviews at the time of listing.
