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.

If you are looking for the chemistry of fragrances, this is definitely a book you must purchase. The authors goes into great details about the history, science, and the art of perfumery. Highly recommended!
