Synthesis and Odor Characteristics of Some Cyclopentane Derivatives

In this work we present the synthesis and odor characteristics of some cyclopentane derivatives. Compounds described in this paper can be considered as cyclic analogues of geraniol, citronellol, dihydrocitronellol and their derivatives.

Progress In Essential Oils

Geranium Oil In 1996, Zang et al. analyzed geranium oil of Chinese origin. Although they found that some of the major constituents were citronellol (24.73%), geraniol (8.79%) and linalool (4.16%), the authors misidentified many of the other constituents; however, it is included in this review for completeness. Möllenbeck et al. (1997) analyzed a sample of geranium oil produced in Madagascar. The oil composition was found to be as follows:

What influence do new fragrance materials have in perfumery?

Presentation to the British Society of Perfumers on January 20, 1977. Perfumery is certainly an ISM (defined as any distinctive doctrine or practice) and I = innovation S = success M = motivation.

The history of lavender oil: Disturbing inferences for the future of essential oils

Whether the user industries will think it worth supporting the production of pure essential oils, this writer cannot tell. Where new sources are concerned it will involve taking up the limited output of the early years while the project grows. But if every user leaves this for someone else to do, it is not difficult to predict the degradation and disappearance of oils that are as good and plentiful today as true lavender was fifty years ago.

Nerol is well known for its floral notes for citrus and fruit flavors.

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.

Geranium Oil A survey of the early literature reveals that methyl mercaptan was found as a trace component in geranium oil (Peyron 1961). Rajeswara Rao et al. (1992) determined the effect of different fertilization practices on the major constituents of geranium oil produced in Hyderabad (India).
