Fragrance profiling

Understanding fragrance complexity

Fragranced products typically contain hundreds of aroma-active volatile and semi-volatile compounds at widely varying concentrations, which define their particular scent.  

Understanding the exact chemical composition of a fragranced product is important for ensuring quality and protecting your brand. But obtaining reliable data on such complex samples is a challenge for conventional GC–MS, with a particular difficulty being identifying the subtle variations in chemical composition between genuine and imitation products.

Protecting brands with accurate fragrance analysis

SepSolve offers a solution to these challenges by combining the separation power of GCxGC–TOF MS with the data-processing capabilities of ChromCompare+ software.

This powerful combination enables precise comparison of fragranced products, revealing even the smallest differences in volatile profiles with high levels of accuracy.

Key benefits include:

  • Better brand protection: Use high-resolution, reproducible analysis to identify the chemical differences that distinguish your genuine products from imitations. Protect your brand by identifying unapproved formulations or deviations in fragrance profiles.

  • Comprehensive profiling: Confidently identify the complete volatile composition of fragranced products. Capture the true features of each formulation, and understand how each component contributes to the overall scent.

  • Fragrance marker identification: Pinpoint the chemical markers that differentiate genuine products from imitations. Identify the unique compounds that contribute to a product’s signature scent, enabling effective quality benchmarking.

  • Automated data processing: Achieve insights quickly, for more agile responses to quality control issues or product authenticity concerns.
