Smell-o-Net v1.0: My new TCP/IP scent molecule transmission software and free service is vaporware.

Made you look!

BUT, something like it is perfectly possible. The only limiting factor is the base smell "notes" included in the emitter on your end.

The emitter should definitely be able to approximate the smells in your perfume, but the problem is that many smells are more complicated than just a few notes.

For instance, Vanilla is one of the most complicated smells in the world, including hundreds of chemicals.

To "transmit" a smell (or rather, to create it on your end) the chemical signature has to be determined at the origination site.

The question then becomes, do you send known signatures only, or do you build a detector. Right now, humans are trying to build detectors for certain smells, mainly for explosive chemicals, and it's not easy or inexpensive. Been to the airport lately and seen those sniffing machines?
