Perfumer's Notebook: Stability of Fragrance Profile

An essential feature of any well compounded fragrance is its property of maintaining a constant profile during its exposure. This applies to fragrances applied to the skin, as with colognes or perfumes, or exhibited on the surface of toilet soaps. Marked change in profile during exposure may occur through lack of attention to relative evaporation rates of the perfume components. The rate at which a substance evaporates is, of course, a direct function of its vapor pressure, i.e. its tendency to change from liquid or solid to a gas.

Musk Alcohols

The purpose of the research described herein is to investigate the odors of some alcohols which might otherwise be expected to be musky were it not for their possession of that particular functional group.

Phenethyl Alcohol

Phenethyl alcohol, or PEA, as it is commonly referred to in the industry, is basically a fragrance raw material, as more than 99% of its volume usage is realized in this area. The usage in flavors in only minor, yet the flavorist will require PEA for defined applications where it cannot be substituted by other materials.

Leaf Alcohol

Leaf alcohol and its derivatives are a symbol of the “green revolution in flavors and fragrances that developed in our industry during the 1960’s.” Its commercial introduction changed the nature of flavors and fragrances and resulted in the wide spread use of n-hexenyl based materials, Today, more than 40 structurally related aroma chemicals are being utilized in our industry and all at relatively low formula percentages.

Cover Story: Leaf Alcohol Preparation

cis-Hex-3-en-1-ol and trans-hex-3-en-1ol are called leaf alcohols, though their aromas resemble freshly cut grass. Perfumers define their aroma more precisely: cis-hex-3-en-1-ol has powerful and intensely green grassy odor.1 Traces of cis-hex-3-en-1-ol are used in refreshing top notes in delicate floral fragrance types such as muguet and lilac; in addition, the alcohol is often used alongside geranium oil, galbanum, oakmoss, lavender and mint oils.

iso-Valeric acid makes a subtle, but very useful, contribution to hazelnut flavors at 100 ppm.

iso-Valeric Acid in Dairy, Brown, Nut, Savory, Alcoholic Drink & Fruit Flavors

The profile of iso-valeric is very much stereotypical of the primary cheese odor, without any hint of the faint goaty character that starts to creep into the series of aliphatic acids from six carbon atoms upwards.

Malodor Formation in Alcoholic Perfumes Containing Vetiveryl Acetate and Vetiver Oil

Although hypothetical, the proposed schemes explain reasonably well how butene isomers and 1,1-diethoxyethane can arise from vetivmyl acetate or vetiver oil autoxidation in alcoholic perfumes. Unsaturated perfume ingredients other than vetiveryl acetate or vetiver oil could possibly exhibit a similar behavior.
