This week’s question: Scientists in Scotland have devised a method to turn “fatbergs” — foul masses of congealed fat and grease that clog up sewer systems — into pleasingly aromatic perfumes. If a parfumier were to start selling bottles of this fatberg-derived scent, what sweet-smelling name should it give the fragrance?
