At one point, in the early 1950s, Bois de Rose oil ranked as one of the top 15 “biggest” essential oils in the world. Today, at approximately 100 tons per year, it is in peril of extinction.

The Role of Fragrance in Product Development

Textile Materials with Fixed Cyclodextrins as a Fragrance Depot

The ability to semi-permanently infuse fabrics with finished fragrances and/or fragrance materials opens up a new realm of formulation and application possibilities for perfumers. The market has already seen the introduction of scented pillows and the like, but Buschmann et al.’s recent work presents the possibility of (washable) scented sportswear, linens, upholstery and many other household products that may be customized at will, and which may intake unpleasant odors while imparting pleasant ones.
