SCENT AND CHEMISTRY - GÜNTHER OHLOFF WILHELM PI...

Scent and Chemistry 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.
