Allergic Contact Dermatitis to Linalool

An examination of experimental data disqualifies linalool’s fragrance allergen status. Linalool has been identified as an important fragrance allergen that must be package-labeled in European cosmetics and personal care, and is in fact one of the 26 fragrance ingredients with mandated labeling in the European Community. Does evidencebased methodology support this contention?

Material Review: Clary Sage Oils

Variation in composition and enantiomeric analyses of commercial vs. new Kashmir clary sage oils. Commercial clary sage oils were analyzed along with a newly available Kashmir oil (Himalayan Foothills Oils, Srinagar, India). All of the oils were high in linalool (14.7–25.1%) and linalyl acetate (55.0–72.4%).

Organosilicon Fragrances

Novel and interesting investigations in the field of the chemistry of odor have been recently described by Wrobel and Warmagat. In their search for new fragrances and for a better understanding of the relationship between the molecular structure and the olfactory propeties of compounds, the authors turned their attention to silicon. The principal approach was to introduce the silicon atom into the osmophoric center of odoriferous materials. A number of compounds have been prepared and evaluated. This article briefly summarizes the synthesis and olfactory characteristics obtained.

Naturally Sourced F&F Ingredients: Regulations and Verifications Through Carbon-14

Authentication of natural substances continue to be an area of major interest for F&F, with programs and regulations using carbon-14 analysis as a method for distinguishing biobased sourced materials from petroleum-derived material.

Fragrances Through Hydrochlorination of Terpenes

Among the reactions that have enriched terpene chemlstry, perhaps the simplest and one of the outstanding is hydrochlorination. This reaction has been used for structural elucidation, for derivatization to identify and/or purify terpenes and for synthesizing perfumery chemicals. How the application of hydrochlorination on terpenes has unearthed the treasure caves of fragrances is a vibrant chapter worthy of portrayal.
