In Chapter 10 of 'Scents & Science,' we explain the role of alcohols and phenols in perfumery. Learn how the hydroxyl group is fundamental to the chemical structure and scent profile of many common fragrances.
In Chapter 9 of 'Scents & Science,' we explain the role of heteroatoms and functional groups in perfumery. Learn how these specific arrangements of atoms are essential to fragrance chemistry and directly influence a perfume's scent.
This 'Scents & Science' chapter explains the role of molecular orbitals in perfumery.
In Chapter 4 of 'Scents & Science,' we explore electron configuration and its critical role in fragrance.
This 'Scents & Science' chapter explains the critical role of chemical bonds in perfumery.
This post is the foundation for our Fragrance Chemistry series, exploring its deep alchemical origins.
