Odor impressions have cast a spell over mankind since the dim and distant past. But even today
we are -consciously or subconsciously- guided by our sense of smell and the chemistry behind
it. The prominent fragrance chemists Günther Ohloff  Wilhelm Pickenhagen and Philip Kraft
convey the scientist  the perfumer  and the interested layman with a vivid and up-to-date
picture of the chemistry of odorants and the research in odor perception. In this second
thoroughly revised and updated edition they are joined by creative perfumer Fanny Grau  a
rising master in this métier  who complements the scientific treatise by a concise introduction
to the art of perfumery and its composition techniques. Besides this new chapter on the
creative aspects of perfumery  the book details on the molecular basis of olfaction  olfactory
characterization of perfumery materials  structure-odor relationships  the chemical synthesis
of odorants  and the chemistry of essential oils and odorants from the animal kingdom  backed
up by many perfume examples and historical aspects. It will serve as a thorough introductory
text for everyone interested in the molecular world of odors.
