Fundamentals of Fragrance Chemistry

Great buy for the inquisitive perfumer! This book provides a wealth of knowledge that has been helpful in developing my products even further. Beyond perfumery, I could also see this being useful to any individual interested in organic chemistry, or business manufacturing their own scented products to include candles, soaps, shampoos and conditioners, etc.. Overall a great read full of interesting topics. Note: if you’re like me, buying this book in hopes it will also contain information on scent families, you’re better off buying “Fragrances of the World,” to get that.

Very in-depth.The price represents the fact that this is literally a textbook that is likely used in academic settings that would likely have a prerequisite of organic chemistry.While "Fundamentals" is part of the title, this is not a publication for those that do not already have some formal understanding/education in organic chemistry.I have a strong background in a wide variety of engineering disciplines and enjoy reading a variety of what are only considered academic textbooks, but, this quickly became "over my head"
