Here is a nice overview of the history of perfume components: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1O4kFM6SLQvGO77uPqAFVYIRvSBasBMXI?usp=drive_link Amazing lectures about the history of perfumery - with chemical formulas, done by Luca Turin, an experiences scientist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dflw8uRG7Rc&list=PL_brJ8c_lV9LoBMXx1IXSHTISaYD3geSf&index=16 Our nose works like an IR spectrometer - we can sense molecular vibrations! There are many clever experiments with fruit flies that can used to prove this theory. We can smell separately functional groups like SH, C=N, COOR, etc., and the whole molecular vibrations in the `fingerprint` region of the IR spectrum.
