New compounds with small rings in essential oils

Despite the continuing discovery of new synthetic fragrance raw materials, essential oils still remain the other half of the foundation of perfumery. Consequently, the analysis of essential oils is still very much of interest, as is illustrated by the excellent series of articles by Lawrence in this journal. We now wish to report a number of products containing small (three-, four-, and five-membered) rings, most of which are found for the first time in essential oils. These products were isolated by chemical group separation, liquid and gas chromatography, whereupon the structures were determined by mass, infrared and NMR spectroscopy. All structures were confirmed by synthesis. The essential oils used were obtained from regular commercial sources.

Aromatherapy: Do Essential Oils Have Therapeutic Properties?

A pleasant odor has always been, and still is, an important factor for people to feel good, and feeling well is synonymous with good health. Therefore, we can conclude that all substances which are able to create a certain amount of well-being and well-feeling possess therapeutic properties and, therefore, can be called therapeutic agents.

The Relationships Between Emotion, Perfumes and Fragrances

Reading the general literature on perfumery we find remarks suggesting a special relationship between emotion and perfume. However, despite such statements, there have been few actual suggestions as to how emotion and olfaction might be linked. However, there are a few clues and I feel that we can move towards looking to see how the sensory systems of olfaction and emotion come together.
