Musa Compliant - ™ The Musa Academy For more information on the Musa Alphabet, visit www.musa.bet. Musa Keys is the easiest way to enter Musa text into a phone or computer. When you receive Musa text in a message on your phone, it will normally show as “tofu”. To read it, select the message and copy it to the clipboard, then just open Musa Keys. You will see the message, with Musa text correctly displayed, and you’ll be able to respond to it using the Musa keyboard. To enter Musa into your computer, you need the Musa Keyboards agent program. Both the computer and the phone need access to the same WiFi network, and you’ll need to have a Musa font installed on your computer to see the letters. The Musa letters you type go directly into whatever program you’re using: a word processor, an email program, a website, whatever – just as if they’d been typed on your hardware keyboard. While it is connected, you can continue to use your hardware keyboard to enter non-Musa text, and of course your mouse continues to function. And the agent itself functions as an onscreen Musa keyboard. Musa, Musa Compliant, and the Musa logo are trademarks of The Musa Academy PBC.

PerfumeLab is a perfume formulation workspace for hobby perfumers, students, independent perfumers and fragrance creators. Build structured formulas, understand your materials and refine each idea in one place. FORMULATE WITH PRECISION Create and organise perfume formulas by percentage. Set batch sizes, concentrations and dilutions, then work with formula components according to their role. Alcohol, solvents and carriers are handled separately from fragrance materials for clearer note breakdowns and more meaningful formula analysis. EXPLORE PERFUMERY MATERIALS Browse an expanding library of 471 perfumery materials with technical and safety information. Track the ingredients you own, review material details, and search with terminology in your language using improved multilingual names and aliases. ANALYSE AND REFINE Use formula analysis to explore structure and balance. AI-assisted insights can help you understand a formula, while volatility, longevity and projection tools help you consider how materials may behave together. LEARN FORMULATION THROUGH EXAMPLES Study built-in formulas and accords as practical learning material. Explore how materials work together, understand formula structure and use examples as educational starting points for your own ideas. KEEP YOUR WORK TOGETHER Manage formulas and ingredients in one workspace. Export clear formula sheets as PDFs, including parts-per-thousand, for your records or workshop. PerfumeLab is available in 26 languages, including Arabic and Hebrew with right-to-left support. IFRA information is provided for reference only. Always verify requirements against official IFRA documentation and applicable regulations; PerfumeLab does not replace professional regulatory review.
