Muguet in perfumery a review of lily of the valley

The odor character of the flowers of lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis L.) is appreciated by almost everyone. An essential oil of the flowers is not commercially available. Therefore, perfumers must create compositions of this odor type based upon their memory of the natural product, using other essential oils and synthetic fragrance materials.

Synthesis and odor characteristics of some analogs of acyclic sesquiterpenoids

In summary, it could be stated that the crucial factors affecting the odor of the compounds under investigation are the carbon chain structures and type of functional groups. These observations confirm Beets’ thesis that “the profile of a molecule with an easily accessible functional group is responsible for the odor type.

The dynamics of fragrance marketing

Fragrance suppliers have traditionally developed fragrances with limited knowledge of the components which characterized the total package. We would like to see the 1980s emerge into an era in which we will be afforded the opportunity of developing highly specialized fragrances; ones which would be finely tuned to and illustrative of the "total package" concept.

Natural materials and the practicing perfumer

I would like to encourage continued research into the chemistry of natural materials. Often fascinating new chemicals can be produced directly by isolation from essential oils, or by further chemical processing of these isolates. Despite legislative difficulties, this work should be continued apace. Our growth and future lies here.

Studies of some balsamics in perfumery

The most important natural balsams used in perfumery are benzoin, cistus, copáiba, galbanum, myrrh, labdanum, olibanum, opoponax, peru, styrax and tolu. Of these, we studied the chemical composition of the following balsamic products:

The Role of Men’s Fragrance Advertising in the Mating Game

Those of you who work on new products, from salesperson to perfumer, struggle daily with the client’s perception of the consumer. Therefore, after approval of final submission, you must wait with some interest to see how your client communicates the fragrance in advertising. This is my subject.

Mathematics and Perfumery: An Examination of Arithmetical Methodology

In the day-to-day work of the Perfumery Department, many problems will arise, besides those that I have mentioned here, where a little simple arithmetic can be of great assistance. In the same way that perfumers would be well advised never to totally abandon balance work, so they will gain by exercising their mathematical skills. All perfumers wish to design that magnificent winner that will astound the industry, Perhaps a little math will help to achieve this goal.

The Story Behind the Launch of Sophia

They used to say that the fragrance and cosmetic industries were recession proof. Obviously, that is not true. But I think we are definitely more recession resistant than many, many other industries, After all, a new creative fragrance and a new marketing strategy do not require great capital expenditures. We do not have to build a new plant or put new smokestacks on our existing plants. All we need is the enthusiasm and the devotion that our great industry built.

Modern Perfumery Chemicals

BSP Symposium, March, 1982.

Patents and Fragrance Formulation: Are they compatible?

The purpose of this article is to present a few considerations on the role of patents in relation to perfumers’ activity.

Demonstrating perfume fixation

Quantitative evidence of fragrance fixation by a 20 mole propoxylate of methyl glucoside was obtained by subjecting a representative series of pure aroma chemicals to accurately measured evaporation and retention studies over time segments of 1,3,6 and 24 hours. The number and variety of aroma chemicals studied permits application of the results to most of the remaining aroma chemicals in the perfumer’s repertory. Improved fixation is possible at very modest cost with this simple application technology.

Armoise-Artemesia Herba Alba

The objectives of this paper on Armoise (Artemesia Herb. Alba) are to: --Identify growing areas --Determine the effect of growing areas on oil constitution --Contribute to the existing knowledge of components of the oil --Suggest a typical oil quality as used intemationafly in the fragrance industry --Contribute to an understanding of the influence of climate on oil constitution

Synthesis and odor properties of carene and carane derivatives

The purpose of this report is to detail the syntheses of novel 4-substituted derivatives of carene and carane, and studies of their sensory (odorous) properties.

A Simple Synthesis of 9-Ketodihydro-α-damascone

The compounds, 9-keto-8,9-dihydro-damascones or damascenones, are used as the ingredients in the production of perfumes and aromas. Since these compounds are able to be converted into damascones and damascenones. 9-keto-8,9-dihydro-α-damascone [2,6,6 -trimethyl-1-(1,3-dioxobutyl)cyclohex-2-ene] (I) may be considered as a precursor of α-damascone. Until now, (I) and its analogues were synthesized by the multistep reactions.

What Makes a Successful Fragrance Launch

I like to think that we do the same. But one thing is sure: we couldn’t have done it without the perfumer. Time and again, perfumers take our words and descriptions and purple prose and give them life, For that, we are very thankful.

Perfumes—and Perfumery

The perfume industry can generally be divided into three categories but without well-defined boundaries: prestige perfumery (French, American and Japanese), mass market alcoholic perfumery and non-alcoholic perfumery. A fourth category could be food flavors. Although they are not perfumery, they are nevertheless related to perfumery and are manufactured by the same firms.
