Chili Pepper Capsaicin Detector

Some people love capsaicin, the compound in chili peppers that gives them their heat. Others avoid it whenever possible. Regardless, it can be hard to tell how hot something is before tasting it, which is why researchers have created this Capsaicin Detector. Shaped like a chili pepper — because why not — it uses a paper-based electrochemical sensor to accurately detect the presence of capsaicin and then displays the results on an attached smartphone. It's unlikely to hit the market any time soon, although there's surely a market for it if/when it does.

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street Parfum

This smooth and seductive ultra-male oriental fougère captivates both men and women alike. Inspired by the vibrant revival of Lafayette Street — a historic thoroughfare weaving through iconic New York neighborhoods like Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown—the fragrance embodies the energy of its surroundings. It opens with fresh bergamot, coriander, and floral notes, transitions to a heart of velvety ambroxan and rich vanilla, and finishes with lingering dry wood, tonka bean, cedarwood, and warm grey amber. Encased in a sleek, leather-textured bottle, Lafayette Street is a celebration of modern masculinity and a tribute to Bond No. 9's roots.
