First published in 1994, this book has become the standard
reference work for perfum ery

coverage of topics from raw materials to supermarket
shelves, from science to creation, and through to marketing
and business policy.
The power of fragrances to communicate is strongly emphasized
and an explicit framework of odor vocabulary is provided.
Detailed discussion is included of the new product development
process and the central role of the perfume brief. For
this edition, all chapters have been revised and the
book will be of great value to any writer or researcher
wishing to consider any issues relating to fragranced
products.

Aroma Science
This book is based on lecture notes and handouts compiled
by the author and made available to students taking
a course involving aroma ch emistry,
as part of a requirement for a Master’s degree
in cosmetic science at Fairleigh Dickinson University,
New Jersey.
The book is intended to teach the science involved in
the study of aroma materials and their effect on society.
Examples and problems are provided and explained, and
additional problems with answers are available for study
and review.
The book is comprised of four main sections. The first
deals with odor sensations, the correlation of odors
and molecular structures and the properties, sources
and uses of natural aroma materials.
The second part deals with synthetic aroma products
– the sources, properties, uses and syntheses of
such aroma compounds as aromatics, heterocyclics, aliphatics,
alicyclics and terpenes.
The third section discusses aroma analytical methods
and describes the procedures used for the evaluation
and identification of aroma compounds.
The final section is on aroma applications and deals
with the creation of perfumes, the application of fragrances
in cosmetic formulations, and the aging and stability
of aroma compounds and their use as therapeutic agents.
