Description

Modern perfumery is a blend of art, science and technology, with chemistry being the central science involved.

The Chemistry of Fragrances 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 fifty thousand 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 on this journey of discovery.

Written by respected experts in their fields, this unique book gives an insider view of ""mixing molecules"" from behind the portals of modern-day alchemy.

It will be enjoyed by chemists and marketeers at all levels.
