Art/Literary - Philosophy
French term or phrase: Programmatique
From an academic article on perfume:


Si les compositions des parfumeurs sont originales et inventives et constituent en droit de véritables œuvres d’art, de fait, elles restent marquées par leur vocation commerciale, de sorte que le manifeste en faveur d’un statut reconnu de l’artiste parfumeur et de la création originale reste amplement **programmatique*** pour des raisons qui tiennent à la fabrication du parfum et à son usage.

Explanation:
You've misread the text - it says programmatique, not programmique. It's the same word in English.

I don't think you need a synonym - it means that creativity is subject to limitations imposed by the way the perfume is made.

Thanks for your help! After much googling, I concede that "programmatic" is used in English as well, esp. by academic philisophers.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks! it was a typo. But what does "programmatic" mean in this context? I found that too, but it doesn't make sense to me. Can you suggest a synonym?

Asker: Ok, but what is the text saying about the manifesto (that's the part that interests me)? A bit of background -- a group of perfumers drafted a manifesto calling for recognition of perfume as an art form.
