ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The ‘discovery of the world’ has been a stereotypical focus of human geography. However, the research helped me to discover a new world for myself. The fragrance industry delineates a rich landscape of sensorial stimulations. I appreciated not only the experience of smelling perfumes in different environments and the ‘look behind the scenes’ but the diversity of approaches to perfumery in this artistic industry. Therefore, my first ‘thank you’ goes to the industry experts that spend their precious time with me and opened their doors for me in France, Germany, and the United States. Thank you very much for introducing me to a world that you experience, develop, and change every day. Second, a dissertation is a long journey. This one has seen different companions until it came into being. It developed quite a bit over time. My friends in the United States and in Germany contributed through their critique, mental support, active interest, questions, guidance, and feedback. Thus, the second ‘thank you’ goes to all companions.

  • The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture: a Sociology of the Senses
    THE SENSES IN SELF, SOCIETY, AND CULTURE The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture is the definitive guide to the sociological and anthropological study of the senses. Vannini, Waskul, and Gottschalk provide a comprehensive map of the social and cultural significance of the senses that is woven in a thorough analytical review of classical, recent, and emerging scholarship and grounded in original empirical data that deepens the review and analysis. By bridging cultural/qualitative sociology and cultural/ humanistic anthropology, The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture explicitly blurs boundaries that are particularly weak in this field due to the ethnographic scope of much research. Serving both the sociological and anthropological constituen- cies at once means bridging ethnographic traditions, cultural foci, and socio- ecological approaches to embodiment and sensuousness. The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture is intended to be a milestone in the social sciences’ somatic turn. Phillip Vannini is Professor in the School of Communication and Culture at Royal Roads University,Victoria, Canada, and Canada Research Chair in Innovative Learning and Public Ethnography. He is author and editor of eight books, including Understanding Society through Popular Music (with Joe Kotarba, 2006, Routledge), and Ferry Tales: An Ethnography of Mobilities, Place, and Time on Canada’s West Coast (2011, Routledge). Dennis Waskul is Professor of Sociology at Minnesota State University, Mankato. He is author of Self-Games and Body-Play (2003, Peter Lang), production editor for Symbolic Interaction, editor of net.seXXX (2004, Peter Lang), and co-editor of Body/Embodiment (2006, Ashgate). He has published numerous studies on the sociology of the body, senses, sexualities, and computer-mediated communications.

Olubanwo, Moses O. Ekeoma, Blessing Onuora, Stephena E. Tolubanwo. CHAPTER 1 1. 1 INTRODUCTION The word perfume is used today to describe scented mixtures and is derived from the Latin word, "per fumus," meaning through smoke, is fragrant liquid that is sprayed or rubbed on the skin or clothes to give a pleasant smell. Extraction of perfume from various plants resources is of ancient origin. In fact the natives from different tropical regions of the globe have long been extracting oil from numerous oil bearing plants. IJSERHuman beings since the ancient time have known how to extract oil from their natural resources. Vegetable oils are naturally occurring esters of higher fatty acids and glycerol. They are swidely di tributed in nature and were first consumed as food. Later oils were discovered to be used as renewable raw materials for variety of non-food production, for instance perfumes, disinfectants, inks to mention but a few. 1.2 Background of the Study Egyptians were responsible for the origin of perfume. They utilized scents in everything from religious ceremonies to burial preparations and even daily wear. The rich elites of Egyptian society, male and female alike would adorn themselves with aromas like lily to denote their status. The Persians took over the use of perfume as a sign of political status, but it wasn't until the Greeks and Romans became acquainted IJSER © 2019 http://www.ijser.org International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 7, July-2019 2226 ISSN 2229-5518 with it that it began to be viewed as a form of art and produced in large quantity and in consistent quality.

  • Understanding the Underlying Dimensions in Perfumers' Odor
    Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics 2009, 71 (2), 225-247 doi:10.3758/APP.71.2.225 Understanding the underlying dimensions in perfumers’ odor perception space as a basis for developing meaningful odor maps MANUEL ZAR Z O Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Valencia, Spain AND DAVID T. ST AN T ON Procter & Gamble Company, Cincinnati, Ohio Various low-dimensional perceptual maps of fragrances have been proposed in the literature, as well as sen- sory maps for the odor descriptors most frequently applied in perfumery. To reach a consensus, however, seems difficult, if at all possible. In the present study, we applied principal components analysis to two databases. The first contains numeric odor profiles of 309 compounds based on 30 descriptors. The loading plot corresponding to the relevant components was strikingly similar to the odor effects diagram proposed by P. Jellinek (1951), primarily on the basis of his long experience as a perfumer. We obtained similar results in our analysis of the second database, which comprises 66 descriptors and contains the semantic descriptions of 119 perfume ma- terials. On the basis of the results of both analyses, a commercial map of fragrances is discussed. Our findings suggest that it is possible to develop standard sensory maps of perfumery odor descriptors, if a consensus is first reached regarding which odorants best represent particular odor qualities. Odor Description and Perception: Whether semantic or numeric odor profiles are obtained Basic Concepts for a representative set of compounds, the resulting data- Various procedures have been proposed for describing base (i.e., the odorant object space) contains information odor character (for reviews, see Chastrette, 1998; Wise, useful for describing the relationships among compounds Olsson, & Cain, 2000).

  • Extraction and Formu
    CHAPTER ONE 1. 1 INTRODUCTION The word perfume derives from the latin ―per fumum‖ meaning through smoke, is fragrant liquid that is sprayed or rubbed on the skin or clothes to give a pleasant smell. Extraction of perfume from various plants resources is of ancient origin. Infact the natives from different tropical regions of the globe have long been extracting oil from numerous oil bearing plants. Human since the ancient time have known how to extract oil from their natural resources. Vegetable oils are naturally occurring esters of higher fatty acids and glycerol. They are widely distributed in nature and were first consumed as food. Later oils were discovered to be used as renewable raw materials for variety of non food production, for instance perfumes, disinfectants, inks to mention but a few. 1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Several thousands of plants distributed throughtout the world contain a group of odiferous, fragrance, oily products that are highly volatile organic substances collectively known as essential oils. ―Essential‖ does not mean ―most necessary‖ but rather the concentrated characteristics or quintessence of a natural flavor or fragrance raw material (Coulson et al, 1 2003). Therefore, perfume may be from essential oils of vegetables or plant origin. It is a complex mixture of aldehydes, ketones, hydrocarbons, alcoholic acid and short chain esters. The existence of perfume on certain plants has been known for thousands of years. They can be found in leaves, flowers, stems, barks, and roots. Ancient Egytians extracted essential oils from plants tissues by steam distillation (Ogbu,2005). Other methods of isolating essential oils includes solvent extraction, expression, cold plate or enfleurage.

  • Multivariate Analysis of Olfactory Profiles for 140 Perfumes As
    cosmetics Article Multivariate Analysis of Olfactory Profiles for 140 Perfumes as a Basis to Derive a Sensory Wheel for the Classification of Feminine Fragrances Manuel Zarzo Department of Applied Statistics, Operations Research and Quality, Universitat Politècnica de València, Camino de Vera s/n, 46022 Valencia, Spain; [email protected]; Tel.: +34-963-877-490 Received: 7 January 2020; Accepted: 7 February 2020; Published: 12 February 2020 Abstract: In order to guide consumers in their purchase of a new fragrance, one approach is to visualize the spectrum of men’s or women’s fragrances on a two-dimensional plot. One of such sensory maps available is the Hexagon of Fragrance Families. It displays 91 women’s perfumes inside a polygon, so that each side accounts for a different olfactory class. In order to discuss this chart, odor profiles were obtained for these fragrances and additional feminine ones (140 in total, launched from 1912 to 1990). An olfactory dataset was arranged by coding numerically the descriptions obtained from Fragrantica and Osmoz websites, as well as from a perfume guide. By applying principal component analysis, a sensory map was obtained that properly reflected the similarities between odor descriptors. Such representation was equivalent to the map of feminine fragrances called Givaudan Analogies, comprised of five major categories. Based on the results, a modified version of the Hexagon based on 14 categories was proposed. The first principal component explained preference for daytime versus nighttime wear, and regression models were fitted in order to estimate such preferences according to the odor profiles. The second component basically discriminated floral versus chypre (mossy–woody) fragrances.
