How Long Does A Perfume Last on Skin? – Fragrance Analysis by GCMS-QP 2050 and Smart Aroma Database

User Benefits

- Achieve highly accurate and reproducible analysis of aroma compounds on human skin, ensuring reliable data for evaluating perfume performance. - Smart Aroma Database simplifies the qualitative and quantitative analysis process, reducing the time and effort required for data interpretation.

Introduction

The duration on how long fragrance lasts on human skin is a critical factor in the development and evaluation of perfumes. Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is a powerful analytical technique that allows for the detailed analysis of volatile and semi-volatile compounds, making it an ideal tool for studying fragrance. In this application note, a study was performed to examine fragrance on human skin at different durations after applying a perfume. Here, we explore the use of a Monolithic Material Sorptive Extraction (MMSE) MonoTrap, a sorptive extraction device to extract fragrance from human skin, followed by analysis using Shimadzu GCMS-QP2050. Additionally, Smart Aroma Database was used to simplify the method development.
