About The Book

Creating a composition requires study of the materials

Fragrance ingredients cover a wide range of aromas. Categorizing, and classifying the language is difficult taking into account the reading needed to develop one's word phraseology. Part of the problem is where to start, and how to write an odor description. The book was created due to my desire to share my notes to an art in a secretive industry. It is based on many years of work including an extensive bibliography of reference sources including my own notes.

I began my education into aromas with the dictionary, and encyclopedia. Prior to the internet books on fragrance ingredients were hard to find. My book will help you to develop your olfactory knowledge on a specialized craft. The first section has 122 pages with 2,700 plus aroma descriptions arranged alphabetically. The second section has a condensed index with a brief description, and source. The balance of the book displays the aroma chemicals by family.

A Reference Book On Fragrance Ingredients contains 307 pages, and is available at $ 45.00 in a windows pdf file. It is a custom fragrance book, and is not bound, or printable.

All of my books have been copyrighted with the Library of Congress, and are owned by the author. The printing permission has been disabled in order to protect my work. Plus I set the viewing at 50 % making the manuscripts unreadable beyond this site.
