Modern perfumery is a blend of art, science and technology, with chemistry being the central science involved. This work aims to educate and entertain, and inform the audience of the very latest chemistry, techniques and tools applied to fragrance creativity. Beginning with the history of perfumes, which goes back over 50,000 years, the book goes on to discuss the structure of the perfume industry today. The focus then turns to an imaginary brief to create a perfume and the response to it, including that of the chemist and the creative perfumer. Consumer research, toxicological concerns, and the use of the electronic nose are some of the topics discussed in this work.

Chemistry of Fragrances,
By Cji (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Chemistry of Fragrances (RSC Paperbacks) (Paperback)
I purchased the book as a beginner perfumer hoping it would give me a backround in aroma chemicals used in perfumery. As I don't have a background in chemistry I found the book, especially the first chapters pretty hard going as it explains more the chemical structures of common aroma chemicals and how they are derived, as opposed to their creative uses in modern perfumery. It is still worth reading if you have begun perfumery as a hobby and has useful information on how many ingredients are produced and an inside view on modern production methods. It hasn't really hit the spot for me and I will be back online hunting for another book to purchase.
