By: Christine Vuilleumier, Matthijs van de Waal, H…
Perfumers are being increasingly challenged to improve the performance of their formulations. As well as being pleasant, fragrances have to comply with growing requests for stability, biodegradability and uniqueness.

By: Charles Sell, Givaudan
Exploring the two approaches to rational odor design and the possibilities of each. Why do we strive for rational design of odorants?

Survival, Love and Food: Cracking the “Perfume Code”
A new program pairs flavorists and perfumers to take fragrances beyond “just odor.” “It’s almost like a heartbeat,” says Firmenich fine fragrance perfumer Honorine Blanc, discussing the effects of adding subliminal food notes to fragrances. The Swiss company believes it has created a system—the FiFi-nominated Smell the Taste—that harnesses the craftsmanship of flavorists and the more abstract art of perfumers to create polysensorial scents that go beyond conventional food notes: the juiciness and crunch of apples, the bubbles in champagne.

Naturals: The Case for Natural Personal Care Standards
By: Jack Corley, Trilogy Fragrances Inc.

Book Excerpt: Understanding Fragrance Chemistry
By: Charles Sell
In an excerpt from his new book, Charles Sell delves into the forces driving organic chemical reactions in fragrances. Fragrance ingredients are organic chemicals (i.e., chemicals with structures based on carbon) and so their chemistry is part of organic chemistry. Chemical reactions basically occur when instability or imbalance exists in atoms, molecules or ions.
