The power of nomenclature - the best synthetic fragrance building blocks

Their names may not be familiar to you, but their scents are. In fact, you are probably wearing their scent right now. Without them, your perfume would be unthinkable.

While the spotlight is on natural essences, it is the synthetic ones that are opening up revolutionary worlds of fragrance in the shadows. The discovery of cumarin in 1881 led to the first modern perfume, Fougère Royale. Aldehydes gave Chanel N°5 its abstract glow. Ethylvanillin intensified the rich bouquet of Shalimar. Hedione® gave Eau Sauvage a radiant luminescence. And no contemporary fragrance would be complete without synthetic moschus or the ubiquitous Iso E Super.

Whether mimicking nature, revealing its deepest secrets or venturing into botanically impossible scents, synthetic ingredients are the true building blocks of perfumery. Elegant solutions discovered by scientists and applied to the skin and our noses by laboratories.
