blog
The Scentspiracy blog is where perfumery knowledge meets critical inquiry. Here, we explore the molecular architecture of scent, the historical evolution of fragrance chemistry, and the technical challenges facing modern formulation, from regulatory shifts to raw material innovation.
Each article is designed to go beyond surface-level information. Whether dissecting the biosynthesis of fruity esters, profiling the chemists who shaped aromatic synthesis, or examining fixative strategy in EdP concentration, our approach combines scientific rigor with cultural and aesthetic context.
This is a resource for perfumers, students, formulators, and fragrance professionals who value depth, precision, and the intersection of art and chemistry. Expect technical essays, ingredient monographs, regulatory updates, and explorations of olfactory craft that respect both tradition and innovation.

The chemistry of Cherry, smell and flavor
The imitation of cherry aroma is very frequently and erroneously set in a similar way to that of black cherry as it exceeds the dosage of bitter almond (benzoic aldehyde).
