Up to the middle of the 19th century, natural extracts of scented flowers/plants, and to a certain extent of animal secretions, had been the only raw material used for the creation of fragrances. No wonder that chemists working in the fragrance industry started to investigate these ‘essential oils’ (used as a generic term and including steam-distilled oils, concretes, absolutes, resinoids and related products) at the dawn of modern organic chemistry in the later 19th century. The progress in ‘essential oil’ research achieved during the following decades was a great source of motivation and stimulation for both the chemist and the perfumer, and many of the still commonly used fragrance chemicals can be traced back to this period. Today, the perfumer’s palette comprises, besides 300–400 ‘essential oils’,1,2 around 3000 regularly used synthetic products.3,4
