which organic compounds are often used to create fragrance for perfume
Perfumes basically are three-part mixtures of chemicals. The first part, the fragrance, is the one that we usually think about. These are generally esters, aldehydes, or aromatic organic compounds that occur naturally in flowers, fruits, or other things that smell nice. The second part, the. solvent, is used to dissolve all the fragrance, and evaporate slowly so that the perfume's scent is given off over a period of time, and not all at once.
