  • The Seven Main Families According to the Classification Proposed by Commission Technique De La Société Française Des Parfumeurs
    Fragrances Classification Sweet, sharp, sparkling, fresh....perfums should be so many and their notes practically infinite.....Knowing the main ingredients who characterize them and discovering which fragrance family they belong to , could be interesting and enjoyable. That's why we have decided to put at disposal a description and a classification of the the fragrances in seven Main Families, each of them has "Sub" Fragrance Families according to the classification proposed by Commission Technique de la Société Française des Parfumeurs The seven Main Families according to the classification proposed by Commission Technique de la Société Française des Parfumeurs Citrus By "citrus", we mean the essential oils obtained by extracting the zest from fruits such as bergamot, lemon, orange, mandarin, etc., combined with orange flower products. In this group we find the main "Eau de Cologne" fragrances used by men and women. Floral The family consists of fragrances with a single flower as their main theme : jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, violet, tuberose, narcissus, etc. Fougère This imaginary name which does not claim to represent a fougère fragrance, consists of a blend generally made up of lavender, woody, oak moss, coumarin, and bergamot notes. Chypre This name comes from the fragrance of the same name brought out by Coty in 1917. The success of "Chypre", made it the leader of this family which contains fragrances based mainly on harmonies of oak moss, cistus, labdanum, patchouli, bergamot. Woody These are warm or opulent notes, such as sandalwood and patchouli, sometimes dry like cedar or vetiver, the top note is usually made up of lavender and citrus notes.

The purpose of this study was to do a proof of principle investigation and to study the main factors that affected partitioning of PRMs into the gel network system shampoos and determine the effect that perfume incorporation had on the shampoo stability of the different formulations . Gel network premixes (literally a conditioner) were formulated then incorporated into a standard shampoo base. Changes in formulation of the gel network such as chain length of fatty alcohols and fatty alcohol ratios were done and its effect on stability and perfume migration studied. A technical accord with 25 PRMs with a very wide range of physical properties was used as a marker.

  • The Chemistry of Smellable Molecules → Volatility?
    The chemistry of smellable molecules volatility? The chemical categories to which most odoriferous substances belong are : 1. Terpenes (= isoprenoides): e.g. Menthol, lemonene, thymol 2. Phenoles e.g. Coumarin, vanillin, heliotropin 3. Sulfuric compounds: e.g. Allyl isothiocyanate = volatile mustard oil 4. Amines e.g. Methylamine (dead fish) 5. Aldehydes e.g. Acetaldehyde (ripe fruits) benzaldehyde (bitter almond) 6. Esters & Lactones (cyclic esters) e.g. Allyl amyl glycolate (pineapple) 1. We smell only short molecules, large ones are no longer volatile and hence not odorous. 2. If molecule is very short, short is also its endurance, it will be a top note like e.g. dimethyl sulfide CSC – the transient smell of truffles 3. If a molecules carry a large net charges they will stick to each other and form hydrogen bonds. This prevents volatility. 4. Most olfactory molecules are made of C, H, O, N, S Perfumes – art, witchcraft or science? Perfumes are mixtures of raw materials: fragrant essential oils and other odorants, musk, fixatives, chemicals + solvents to give the human body, food, detergent, soap, juice, books etc pleasant smells. Why perfumes? Extracts from plants do not really smell like the real flowers but like a weak fake which might resemble but never match nature & original. The perfume maker therefore combines various raw materials to get something that resembles real flowers , or may even create some desirable fantasy smell The first perfume that used pure chemicals was in 1881Fougere Royal or Royal Fern by Parquet: it used lots of coumarin. Coumarin was used before but it was extracted from woodruff, vanilla leaf, & Tonka beans ($ 450/ kg), but not the pure, cheap chemical ($ 10/kg).

  • THE EXTRACTION of ESSENTIAL OIL from RED PEPPER (Capsicum Annum); FORMULATION and PRODUCTION of PERFUME from the EXTRACT
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 7, July-2019 2225 ISSN 2229-5518 THE EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL OIL FROM RED PEPPER (Capsicum annum); FORMULATION AND PRODUCTION OF PERFUME FROM THE EXTRACT Tolulope, F.A. 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.

  • Evolution from Aromatherapy to Natural Perfumery – Anya Mccoy 2004 2 the Complexities of Blending the Raw Materials
    Natural Perfumery - A Fragrant Evolution For Aromatherapy by Anya McCoy printable version http://perfumeclasses.com Update: The author of this article, Anya McCoy, has begun teaching an online course in natural perfumery that is found here. Introduction The term “Natural Perfume” was relatively obscure more than five years ago. Many people, myself included, say we have been natural perfumers for years. But really, we were mostly amateurs, happily mixing simple blends, often cribbed from aromatherapy books, with our own preferences dropped in. Then there was a change in consciousness, and many decided that they really wanted to learn how to blend, and they wanted to define themselves as separate from mainstream perfumery, the stuff of department store choking clouds and allergic reactions. So, the term Natural Perfumery, like a synchronistic “click” in many scent-lovers heads, became the way in which we define what we do. I launched a natural perfume line in South Florida in 1991, the first in the USA. In the 1800’s, before the discovery of synthetics that would change perfumery forever, natural perfumery did exist; it just wasn’t called that. The perfumers were just perfumers. The 20th Century saw the growth of Mainstream Perfumery and the increasing use of synthetic chemicals replacing the natural aromatics. Now, in the 21st Century, Natural Perfumery is the logical next step along the fragrant path for many aromatherapists. It is the road back through history that we are now finding, and it is wonderful. Aromatherapists are already used to blending several essential oils to evoke a mood, or bring about a desired physical change, and so this new trend, the natural progression of blending perfumes came into being.

  • Shifting Linguistic Norms in the Perfume Industry, 1700-1900
    From Lavender Water to Kiss Me, You Dare!: Shifting Linguistic Norms in the Perfume Industry, 1700-1900 Laura Wright Abstract This chapter is concerned with standardisation within the perfume industry. How and when did the names of perfumes change from registering their contents or place of manufacture to the narrative, fantasy titles prevalent today? Did mid-Victorian discoveries in chemical synthesis result in naming changes? Data is taken from electronically-searchable London and Paris newspaper corpora. The shift from Lavender Water to Kiss Me, You Dare! is found to have been the work of a small group of closely-networked London perfumers who all had French (and German) connections. The Great Exhibition of 1851 (and subsequent exhibitions) were the main catalysts in naming shifts, and novelty became increasingly important as a marketing device. Perfume names which evoked love and romance developed rather late in the period, with allusion to flirtation the innovation of one specific perfume house. Discoveries in chemical manufacture had no linguistic effect at all on the names used for marketing. Keywords: perfume, advertising, newspapers. 1. Introduction The purpose of this contribution is to look at how certain industry- internal norms changed over the period, taking inspiration from Dossena’s citation (this volume) of Dr Johnson’s Preface, where he states that he could not visit caverns to learn the miner’s language, […], nor visit the warehouses of merchants, and shops of artificers, to gain the names of wares, tools and operations, of which no mention is found in books. (Johnson 1755: Preface) LAURA WRIGHT 2 Dr Johnson may not have been able to survey functional varieties1, but he lamented the lacuna, which a search of digital corpora can now partially fill.
