Fragrance Making in the 19th Century and the Progression of Technology

by | Oct 29, 2020

The rapid progression made the world today a lot more simpler!

Towards the beginning of the 19th century, the trend was to use natural essential oil/absolutes/resins or balsams with aroma chemicals that were available at that time. 

Early 1950 onwards, perfumers started making their own accords of flowers and bases, using newly discovered chemicals, keeping the cost of all classic perfumes under control. This is the period when research scientists joined hands with perfumers and with their analytical abilities started decoding fragrances. 

Later, types of equipment like Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometers came into existence and are still being extensively used today, to match and study perfumery. Now advanced equipment like T.O.F and headspace systems are being used to study fragrances directly from finished products which make the overall process of perfume making a lot faster and simpler.

Along with the process of fragrance creation and the technology behind making perfumes, the internet, and the ease of faster communication have also evolved the process of understanding human behavior, interests, likes, and dislikes. Due to this new innovation in technology the overall process of creation, production, and post-production evaluation has become faster and straightforward.
