Fragrance chemistry is the study of the chemical compounds that create scents in various products, such as perfumes, cosmetics, and household items. It involves understanding how different molecules interact to produce specific aromas. These compounds can be natural, derived from plants and flowers, or synthetic, created in laboratories to mimic natural scents or develop new ones. The field combines aspects of organic chemistry, biochemistry, and sensory science. Fragrance chemists analyze the structure and properties of fragrance molecules to design appealing scents. They also consider how these fragrances interact with skin and other materials, ensuring stability and longevity in products.
