The scientific study of fragrances brings together many different facets of chemistry, and is an excellent illustration of the importance of chemistry in our daily lives. This article briefly describes the history of fragrance chemistry, from its origins in natural product isolation, to the improved technologies of synthetic chemistry and the analytical methods used to determine fragrance composition. The biological basis of smell and molecular recognition is explored, including examples and applications of fragrant compounds from five different fragrance families.
