00:00In celebration of National Arts Month this month of February, DOST-FP-RDI has launched their Research and Development on Green Fragrances and Essential Oils

00:11through an Appreciation Tour and Talk, Diana.

00:15Yes, this is what they call the Scent of Innovation, Local Art and Science of Green Fragrances.

00:20And to find out more information about this, we will be joined by Forrester Florena Samiano,

00:27the Program Leader of the Flavors and Fragrances from Forest Technology Program of DOST-FP-RDI.

00:34Good morning, ma'am, and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:37This is Diane Quirero with BN Manalo.

00:42Good morning, ma'am Diane, and to all of your followers of the Rise and Shine Philippines Program.

00:49Yes.

00:50Alright, can you tell us about your activities for National Arts Month?

00:56And what are we expecting here, and who are the participants?

01:02Yes.

01:03On February 26, we at FP-RDI will be hosting National Arts Month,

01:09and we call it the Scent of Innovation, Local Arts and Sciences of Green Fragrances.

01:16Through this, we will be promoting our R&D on Green Fragrances and Essential Oil,

01:23which is part of our Flavors and Fragrances from the Forest Technology Program.

01:28We will have an Appreciation Tour and Talk that will be attended by various local perfumers,

01:35micro, small, medium, and entrepreneurs venturing into perfumes, essential oils, personal care, and cosmetic products.

01:44We also invited a well-known artisan Filipino perfumer

01:49to share her knowledge, experience, and importance of Filipino scents,

01:55or what we call Amoy Pinoy, if we link it to our music and culture.

02:02We will also open our F3TP Fragrance R&D Laboratory

02:08so that the public can fully appreciate and understand

02:12the science behind the perfumes and fragrances that we smell every day.

02:19Perfumery as an art, very interesting.

02:22How does perfumery become a scene?

02:29Yes.

02:30Arts resonates with our five senses,

02:35like the arts of music.

02:37It resonates with the sounds through our ears.

02:41And the arts of painting or drawing with our sight, vision, and touch.

02:46Same with the culinary arts, it resonates with our sense of taste.

02:52The flavors that we taste and drink.

02:59While in the arts of perfumery, it resonates with our sense of smell.

03:05And our senses are usually connected with how and what we feel.

03:10Perfumery is not just an art.

03:13It is also part of the Filipino culture.

03:17It is a part of our Filipino culture.

03:21Cleanliness of the body.

03:23And not just clean.

03:26It's like we're not going out of the house.

03:28We should also smell, right?

03:30I also like to smell every day.

03:33Ma'am Florena Diana mentioned earlier that it's a Filipino smell.

03:36Yes.

03:37Our local brands are able to keep up with the famous international brands.

03:41Yes.

03:42The longer the smell, the more they get.

03:45And the scent is very fragrant, right?

03:47Correct.

03:48Ma'am, how big is the potential of the Philippines when it comes to making and selling perfumes and other oil-based products?

03:58Yes.

03:59The potential of the Philippines is big when it comes to the perfume industry.

04:02Simply because perfume is obviously present in our day-to-day lives.

04:07When we take a bath, the soap, shampoo, and conditioners that we use all smell good.

04:14We even choose different scents.

04:16Even the clothes we wear.

04:19We don't just wash it with fragrant soap.

04:23We still use scented fabric conditioners.

04:27Aside from that, we don't just wear fragrant clothes.

04:31We also spray perfume on our bodies and clothes.

04:36Before you go out and go to the studio, you should spray your perfume.

04:44I do it here.

04:45Because it's still here in my palms.

04:47Behind your ears.

04:48And one in front.

04:49That's how it is.

04:50Yes, ma'am.

04:51There's a routine when you put on perfume.

04:54Yes, ma'am.

04:57I read somewhere that we Filipinos,

05:00before we leave the house in the morning and go to work,

05:04or wherever we want to go,

05:07we spray around five to six sprays a day.

05:12That's equivalent to around 0.5 to 1 ml of perfume.

05:17Imagine, in a year, if we smell every day,

05:21we are consuming around 182 to 365 ml of perfumes in a year.

05:28And mind you, a bottle of perfume is expensive,

05:32especially oil-based perfumes.

05:35It ranges from 4,000 to around 6,000 per 100 ml.

05:40And it depends on the brand.

05:42Additionally, we have a lot of aromatic plants in the Philippines

05:47that can be used to cool essential oils,

05:50perfume, and other cosmetic products,

05:53from leaves, barks, flowers, and resins.

05:59With all that, this is a great business opportunity for our women.

06:04In fact, I know some women who have a business

06:08where they make perfumes and sell them easily.

06:13Well, aside from fragrances and essential oils,

06:16are there other projects in DOST that use lesser-used

06:20or less popular forest products?

06:26Yes.

06:27We use non-timber forest products.

06:33As I mentioned earlier, leaves, barks,

06:38leaves, barks, flowers, and herbs

06:42can be used to make aromatic essential oils,

06:45such as sapili resin,

06:48known in the market as Manila Elimi.

06:51We also have almaciga trees,

06:54which are grown by our brothers and sisters.

06:57Almaciga resin, also known in the market as Manila Copal,

07:03is also used in making perfumes.

07:08We also have different kinds of cinnamon trees in the Philippines.

07:12We have around 16 species documented.

07:15It is known to be used for flavoring,

07:19but when we extract its oil from leaves and barks,

07:24it provides a good scent to some perfumes.

07:29We also studied different kinds of cinnamon trees in the Philippines.

07:34We also have agarwood,

07:38agarwood or oak oil from the Aquilaria species.

07:42We also have flowers, such as ilang-ilang and sampaguita.

07:46We also have grasses, such as lemongrass,

07:49citronella grass, and vetiver grass.

07:52We also have fungus grasses.

07:54We also have bamboo grasses,

07:56which we consider to be tallest grasses.

07:58We also have essential oils.

08:00When we extract the oil from the trees,

08:04we do not throw away the waste residue.

08:11We still look for other uses.

08:16We have completed a research

08:19on the extraction of cinnamon, barks, almaciga, and pili residue.

08:24We converted it into an insect repellent.

08:30We tested it on the extraction of mosquitos and flies.

08:35It worked and it still smells good.

08:39Earlier, we mentioned that we have the flavors and fragrances

08:43from the Forest Technology Program.

08:46What we are discussing today is about the fragrances.

08:50On the other side of this program,

08:52we also have the flavors R&D.

08:56We use the plants we mentioned,

08:59such as cinnamon, bamboo leaves,

09:02and agarwood leaves for tea production.

09:06We make tea that has health benefits.

09:13We also have technology to enhance

09:16the taste and aroma profiles of our local wines and distilled spirits.

09:22We use our FPRDI Pinoy wooden barrel

09:26and we add different wood chips

09:29for the aging of wines and liquors.

09:34This year, we will start exploring

09:37woody vines extracts for cosmetic products application.

09:43There are a lot of R&D innovations that we hope will place the Philippines in the map.

09:50When Ma'am Florena mentioned this,

09:53I can smell the aromatics.

09:56It's my favorite scent.

09:59I love different scents.

10:02It's not just about the smell.

10:04Ma'am Florena also mentioned that it's good against mold.

10:07Correct.

10:08The increase of dengue cases in different parts of the country is good.

10:13Yes.

10:14Ma'am, please invite our viewers to participate in your activities.

10:21Yes, ma'am.

10:22Again, I would like to invite all of our viewers
