Discovery of Nympheal: The Definitive Muguet Aldehyde

This is the story of Nympheal, which offers with its diffusive fresh, watery-floral, lily-of-the-valley odor a regulatory robust alternative to the existing muguet aldehydes.

Literature Review: The Debate over Rational Odor Design

The hypothesis of olfactory receptors as metalloproteins and the future of odorant design. In his recent volume, The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell, Luca Turin describes his passion for perfume and his pursuit of olfactive mysteries. Turin re-broached the vibrational theory of olfaction and proposed a transduction mechanism of primary olfactory reception.

Anosmia Explained: A Sit Down with Dr. Rawson

Anosmia has been linked to coronavirus as a possible symptom by ENT UK. P&F's Alex Mackenzie was able to sit down with Nancy Rawson, Ph.D., Associate Director and VP at the Monell Center to learn more on this newly identified symptom.

Synthesis and Odor Characteristics of New Gem-Dimethylcyclohexane Derivatives

Searching for cyclic analogs of the insect juvenile hormones, we synthesized a series of new compounds containing the cyclogeraniolene system. This system can be considered as a cyclic form of acyclic terpenes, such as dihydrocitronellol, dihydrogeraniol, and menthocitronellol. The isoprenoid chain in these compounds is rolled to form the cyclohexane ring by connection of the carbon atoms C-7 and C-10. As compared with the classical cyclic systems of the cyclogeraniol type, the compounds obtained by us contain the gem-dimethyl groups in the 3-position in relation to a chain with the functional group.

Synthesis and odor characteristics of some 6,6-dimethylbicyclo [3.1.0] hexane derivatives

It can be generally stated that the odor of the compound group under investigation, containing 8-10 carbon atoms in the molecule, is strongly influenced by the 6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.10]hexane system which decides their common characteristic camphoric-penetrating odor.

The F&F industry is not against strengthening regulatory frameworks, however, regulatory decisions should be based on sound scientific data, and chemical risks managed by considering hazard and exposure.

How Does the European Green Deal Influence the Fragrance Regulation and Innovation?

Outlining the goals of the EU Green Deal and the obstacles that may come with it.

Odor Analysis of (E)- and (Z)-3,7-Dimethyl-4-octen-l-ols and Their Derivatives

This article describes a study of a group of (E)-compounds and a separate group of (Z)-compounds obtained from (E)- and (Z)-isomers of 3,7-dimethyl-4-octen-l-ol.

Multidimensional Visualization of Physical and Perceptual Data Leading to a Creative Approach in Fragrance Development

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. Other factors render the work of the perfumers difficult, such as the specific smell of the non-perfumed substrate or the need to cover unpleasant odors.

Dihydrocarvone

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate many interesting chemical aspects, such as methods of preparation and reactions of dihydrocarvones which resulted in important aroma chemicals.

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.

Dynascone: The Ultimate Captive

In 1973, isolation and structure elucidation by NMR and MS showed this substance to be the hitherto unknown unsaturated ketone 2, having the same molecular formula as α-damascone but possessing a different molecular structure; this ketone has been named α-Dynascone.
