Comprehensively teaches all of the fundamentals of fragrance chemistry Ernest Beaux the
perfumer who created Chanel No. 5 said One has to rely on chemists to find new aroma
chemicals creating new original notes. In perfumery the future lies primarily in the hands of
chemists. This book provides chemists and chemists-to-be with everything they need to know in
order to create welcome new fragrances for the world to enjoy. It offers a simplified
introduction into organic chemistry including separation techniques and analytical
methodologies discusses the structure of perfume creation with respect to the many reactive
ingredients in consumer products and shows how to formulate effective and long-lasting scents.
Fundamentals of Fragrance Chemistry starts by covering the structure of matter in order to show
how its building blocks are held together. It continues with chapters that look at hydrocarbons
and heteroatoms. A description of the three states of matter and how each can be converted into
another is offered next followed by coverage of separation and purification of materials.
Other chapters examine acid base reactions oxidation and reduction reactions perfume
structure the mechanism of olfaction natural and synthetic fragrance ingredients and much
more. -Concentrates on aspects of organic chemistry which are of particular importance to the
fragrance industry -Offers non-chemists a simplified yet complete introduction to organic
chemistry?from separation techniques and analytical methodologies to the structure of perfume
creation -Provides innovative perfumers with a framework to formulate stable fragrances from
the myriad of active ingredients available -Looks at future trends in the industry and
addresses concerns about sustainability and quality management Fundamentals of Fragrance
Chemistry is an ideal resource for students who are new to the subject as well as for chemists
and perfumers already working in this fragrant field of science.
