Lemon oil is an essential component of the fragrances. Natural oil is quite expensive, but it can be substituted by the following blend.
It works-out cheaper and the aroma is quite close to the natural oil. This blend can be used as a direct replacement of natural oil in fragrance formulations.

Lavender oil is an essential component of the fragrances. Natural oil is quite expensive, but it can be substituted by the following blend.

Bergamot oil is an essential component of fragrances. Natural oil is quite expensive, but it can be substituted by the following blend.

Basil oil is widely used in making fragrances. Due to its scarcity, higher price, increasing demand, there is urgent need to find-out a substitute for this.

Based on about 800 popular fragrance formulations, which are used in Soaps, Detergents, Toiletries, House-hold products, Incense sticks, Attars, etc, we are able to provide a tentative data on the global consumption of synthetic chemicals used in making fragrances.

Due to the scarcity of Sandalwood oil ,the oil price is gone up to $1200-1700 per kilogram. But Sandalwood note is indispensable in fragrance formulations.
There are various aroma chemicals available in the market, ranging from $7 to $500 per kilogram .which are found to have some resemblance to Sandalwood oil. But the note or the aroma of the oil cannot be replaced by single aroma chemical. There are various formulations using the these aroma chemicals available which have the similar aroma of Sandalwood oil. These formulations are used in fine fragrances,soaps,detergents,toiletries and skin care products.We here by proposing a versatile formulation which has all the characteristic notes of Sandalwood oil. This formulation costs about $20 per kilo gram.Hence ,I strongly recommend the perfumers all over the world to try out this formulation as it is or they may modify it to suit their requirements.

ABSTRACT

Primary, Secondary or Tertiary alcohols can be prepared by the reaction of a suitable carbonyl-containing compound with an alkyl / Aryl magnesium halide (Grignard reagent).

The reagent is usually obtained quite readily by adding an alkyl halide to a suspension of magnesium turnings in anhydrous ethers. Initiation of the reaction may require the addition of a few crystals of iodine, the purpose of which may be to form a catalytic amount of Magnesium Iodide or possibly simply to etch the metal surface.
Aroma chemical manufacturing companies have utilized this reaction to Make many Aroma Chemicals.

It is a versatile reaction for introducing Cyclopropyl group in place of the double bond. It is used to make high profile synthetic aroma chemicals..

This reaction involves the treatment of the double bond compound
with Dihalo-methane like Dibromomethane,Diiodo methane and
zinc-copper couple.

There are various essential oils used in perfumery formulations.
The following is the list of the common and easily available essential oils which are widely used in fragrances.

Perfume has become an intrinsic part of our daily lives; It is a part of our identity. Think of an ordinary day and all the different smell sensations; the zesty , invigorating shower gel, the familiarity of a personal perfume, the fresh-washed smell of just washed clothes, the citrus tang of the dish-wash liquid, the relaxing night massage oil.

Here is a brief article about the development of the perfumery field in the past.
