New product launches in the perfume business have been marked by a return
to fragrances designed to please the wearer rather than impress others.
New product makers have employed aromachology to create a blend of
ingredients that elicit emotional reactions ranging from relaxation to
stimulation but always to improve or create a positive mood.

Shiseido has produced a scent that does more than smell good. the company
has always been associated with the modern interest in eastern
philosophies. back in 1964, shiseido released their first "zen" fragrance,
which was designed to evoke the mysticism of the orient. now shiseido has
created a zen fragrance that produces an effect in the brain similar to
the one produced by zen meditation, so this new fragrance actually
improves one's state of mind. making a breakthrough in aromachology
technology, shiseido developed the new fragrance using ingredients that
have been proven to impact feelings of well being and peace of mind to
those who smell them. six shiseido zen products are offered: zen perfumed
essence, zen eau de parfum aromatique natural spray, zen eau de parfume
aromatique a.o

The fragrance industry is at the forefront of big changes led by
technological innovations such as aromachology and customization. in
1999, total u.s. prestige fragrance sales rose 2% to us$2.9 billion. of
that total, men's fragrance sales accounted for us$961 million, down 1%,
and women's fragrance comprised us$1.9 billion, up 6%. the rise of
aromachology, scents that alter mood or promote well-being, helped to
develop the fragrance market. such market products are shiseido's
"relaxing scent", "energizing fragrance" and "zen"; est'e lauder 's
"prescriptives potion"; calvin klein's "truth" scent. as a further trend
in the fragrance market, some companies are mentioned which offer
customized fragrances, i.e. the customer can blend his own scent or may
choose in a personalized process products that reflect their wishes. a
further trend is described, the resurgence of the floral, feminine
fragrance and actual product examples of the market are given as est'e
lauder's latest scent "intuition", issey miyake's scent "le feu d'issey
light", givenchy's "hot couture" and guerlain's "metallica"

Specific consumer demand and technology are two major trends that
fragrance companies will face during the next 50 years, according to a
panel of experts assembled by The Fragrance Foundation's recent seminar,
"The Future of Fragrance in America in the Next 50 Years, 2000-2050".
Predictions of possible future trends are made such as: Fragrances will be
produced by scientifically altering the plant's structure to create new
aromas. Fragrance companies will have the ability to monitor body
chemistry and olfactory traits on individual people. Aromachology and
Aromatherapy will be different as science advances it. In future marketing
efforts will explain the contents of perfume to consumers. For the spring
and summer of 2000, personal care fragrances for women will be florals
with unique fragrances as green peppers and cucumbers. Men will tend to
use much more glamorous fragrance

The driving forces for change in raw materials used by the fragrance
industry are discussed. Attention is now being directed at finding
multifunctional ingredients that provide extra product benefits such as a
fragrance which provides the required hedonics, but also imparts, for
example, shelf-life extension, or insect repellency. Microbiology,
entomology, aromachology and skin headspace analysis are enabling
technologies that are giving new direction to the search for fragrance
ingredients with additional functional benefits.

Fragrance materials such as perfumes have long been known to exert
effects on the mind and body. Throughout history, perfumes have been used
as sedatives and stimulants. However, there are very few psychophysiolog-
ical studies in aromachology with regard to the effect of odor itself
on human subjects. In this study, the effects of odors on cardiac
response patterns were investigated during the foreperiod of the
two-stimulus paradigm in a simple reaction time task. Changes in the
cardiac response pattern were typically triphasic during the foreperiod
between the worning stimulus (WS) and imperative stimulus (IS). Heart
rate deceleration (DE) usually seen just prior to IS is thought to
reflect the process of anticipation or attention. Thus, stimulative odors
are expected to activate those processes while sedative odors are thought
to exert a suppressive effect. This experiment was designed to estimate
the effect of some kinds of odors by the DE amplitude. Olfactory
stimulation (some different aromatic air samples and odorless air) was
provided to subjects by the blast method. A trial consisted of a 5 second
rest period, followed by a 20 second period in which the olfactory
stimulus was presented, a 10 second foreperiod lasting from the WS tone
to the IS tone signaling the subject to press the response key, and a 15
second post-foreperiod after the IS tone. The odor of lemon,
traditionally thought to be stimulative, had the effect of activating
anticipation or attention process. This effect tended to be stronger by
increasing odor intensity. On the other hand, the rose odor, thought to
be sedative, had the effect of suppressing this process, and these effect
was observed across all intensity levels. Futhermore, we carried out an
experiment in the same method, to estimate the effects of 3 kinds of
perfumes for the development of odor using for certain skincare products.
We believe this investigational method with two-stimulus paradigm could
be a useful one to determine the psychophysiological effects of odor
especially in stiumulative-sedativ e continuum of its effect.

Scent is considered by many to be the most mysterious and primal of our

senses. originally, it served us in our survival needs to identify fellow

tribal members and discover our surroundings. through the centuries, the

use of our sense of smell has been evaluated to pleasurable pursuits.

however, with its undeniably strong connection to memory and emotion,

scent remains alluring. our understanding of how our olfactory sense

affects behavior is growing but disclosure of these secrets is still

alive. diane ackerman, author of the bestseller, a natural history of our

senses, aptly describes how integral scent is to our daily lives. she

says, "each day we breathe about 23,040 times and displace more than 438

cubic feet of air. smells coat us, swirl around us, enter our bodies and

emanate from us." in fact, scientific studies have shown that the

anatomical link between the nose and the brain is more direct that that of

any other sense. beyond what is cosmetic, we are beginning to rediscover

scent's primal correlation between how we feel and how we define our

space. aromatherapy has traveled far beyond new age positioning with

appeal to a small niche market. the movement has infiltrated all areas of

product development and distribution. market research companies including

npd in a 2000 wrap-up study claimed aromatherapy, "has taken the industry.

today aromatherapeutic properties can be found in all kinds of products

spanning all categories." a recent interview with iff, which boasts the

highest number of best sellers in the prestige fragrance industry,

disclosed that with this newfound awareness and sophistication, consumer

expectations have changed. companies have shifted their focus on

highlighting excellent quality single notes, as is the case with new

additions to the ""trish mcevoy line." another effect has been fragrance

introductions infused with aromachology benefits such as shiseido's zen,

lancome's aromatonic, aromacalm, and the most recent aromfit. in the

following text of the report, a number of market products are described

such as essence of vali, specializing in the therapeutic aromatic blends

that create a naturally revitalizing experience. aromafloria, a california

based company captures effective herbal therapy. a further company in the

market place is aromaland. two trends in the aromatherapy industry are

multi-functionality and greater proof of effectiveness. dual benefit

claims are being made more often and the inclusion of essential oils in

topical products is more frequent

It is believed that the combined smell released from different woody

plants can refresh people mentally and physically. Of these aromatic

substances, highly volatile compounds such as terpenes are believed to be

particularly effective in reducing stress and fatigue, while low volatile

compounds have disinfecting, antibacterial, insecticidal and repelling

effects. We used terpene compounds to measure reactions in the central

nervous system of human subjects to verify the effectiveness of these

substances in reducing stress. We measured physiological responses

including EEG and frequency fluctuation patterns of the alpha wave band,

while they inhaled ethanol solutions containing the terpenoids. Inhalation

of the terpenoids in the solutions made subjects feel refreshed and

relaxed. Therefore, using highly volatile aromatic substances, we can

create a room fragrance that can produce a pleasant smell similar to

healthy air in the forest.

  Clinical aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for expected outcomes

   that are measurable and is a therapy that is used as part of nursing care
  in Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and, more
  recently, the United States. Essential oils are steam distillates obtained
  from aromatic plants. These volatile extracts have been used for many
  years by French hospitals against airborne bacteria and fungi. As
  antimicrobial agents, essential oils may be appropriate in HIV/AIDS for
  specific opportunistic infections. Aromatherapy can also alter perceptions
  of chronic pain, help maintain skin integrity, and is useful in stress
  management. Methods of application vary depending on the site of infection
  and the psychological profile of the patient and can include inhalation,
  compresses, baths, massage, and the "m" technique. This article will
  explore the potential use of essential oils in HIV/AIDS focusing on four
  opportunistic infections: Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida albicans,
  methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and herpes simplex types I
  and II.

  Traditionally, the holidays are the time that the entire fragrance
  category generates the largest sales volume, approx. 60-70 % of the annual
  turnover occurs in the fourth quarter. environmental fragrance products
  are no exception, particularly scented candles, which have dominated the
  gift-giving arena in the home fragrance market over the last five years,
  with candles enjoying double digit increases from 1997 - 1999 with sales
  of us$1.8 billion to us$2.1 billion respectively. last year candle sales
  slowed down for the first time since the boom in the mid 1990s due to a
  saturated market, slowing economy, decreased consumer confidence and bad
  weather during christmas and most of the winter. in addition, electric
  diffusers took the home fragrance market by storm. despite slower sales in
  2000, up only 4.2 percent due to the reasons cited, plus safety warnings
  and mature candle marketplace, candles will still remain number one in
  both the home fragrance category and the home decorative category.
  however, total home fragrance sales increased to us$2.2 billion in 2000,
  up 6.3 percent from 1999. sales growth was propelled by the diffusers
  category and new scented oil entries from mass merchandisers and specialty
  store marketers, which include s.c. johnson and bath & body works.
  following to these general market statistics are trends discussed such as
  comfort and aromatherapy. clearly, there is now homogenization of trends
  linking aromatherapy, home fragrance and wellness. consumers around the
  world are seeking products that offer inner and outer peace and harmony in
  both their personal care products and home care. well being is sought in
  terms of products and technology for home ambience as well as physical and
  spiritual well being; and performance, pleasure and pampering are the buzz
  words for products today

  Hydrosols; or aromatic plant distillates contain the micro drops of
  essential oils as well as the water-soluble plant components from the
  distilled plant. the essential oil micro-drops give the distillates their
  scent and aromatic therapy, and the plant components give the hydrosol its
  herbal or therapeutic effect. like essential oils, hydrosols have powerful
  therapeutic properties. the highest quality hydrosols are not only
  distilled from organically grown plants, but also from plants that are
  certified true essential oil plants and not "landscape" varieties. one of
  the great benefits of using hydrosols in personal care products is they
  combine both the therapeutic qualities of essential oils with herbal
  therapy, while being much more gentle than concentrated essential oils.
  hydrosols contain plant components without any of the plant's tannic acids
  and droplets of essential oils without terpenes. distillation concentrates
  the organic acids in the hydrosols, which leaves them perfectly
  acid-balanced and excellent for skin. with a ph of 4.5 +/- .5, they can be
  applied directly to the skin as antiseptic, anti-fungal and
  anti-inflammatory, and they are gentle enough to be used as an eyewash,
  mouthwash or even on babies' rashes when diluted. they can be used as
  sprays, hydrating toners and after shaves, or added to any skin care
  product. hydrosols also can be used to freshen towels and linens or
  clothes that have become musty, and sprayed on bed linens to reduce
  allergy-provoking bed mites. hydrosols that are presented in the report
  are: rose geranium (pelargonium graveolens), lemon verbena (aloysia
  triphylla), lemon balm (melissa officinalis), rosemary (rosmarinus
  officinalis ccct cinel), peppermint (mentha x piperita), blue artemis

  In general, odors are everything one can sense while aromas are something
  which will give comfort and relaxation. whether particular aroma is said
  to be good or bad will largely depends on ones' own personal experiences
  or cultural background. fragrance materials are narrowly defined as
  products handled by the fragrance industry, while more broadly, they are
  everything which will bring about aromas. primary objective of the use of
  fragrance materials in the final products is of course to help enhance an
  artistic value, attractiveness or comfortness of such products. this is
  basically what the fragrances are for. in addition to these, they also
  possess many other functions. of these, i will discuss the antibacterial
  and antioxidative aspects which are said to be two of the most
  representative functions. as we become more keenly aware now that we are
  being exposed to the counterattack by microorganisms and to the harmful
  sunlight or being damaged by the oxygen, the studies on these
  characteristics are getting attention among researchers. as the same time,
  i will discuss also the role of aromas in terms of non-verbal
  communication as viewed in a cultural context. it should be reminded once
  again that the very basic and essential function of fragrance materials is
  after all to give aromas

  In the early 1970s the sechenov crimea republican scientific research
  institute of physical methods of treatment and medical climatology began
  to study natural biologically active agents, plant essential oils and
  their action on the human and animals body. studies were carried out with
  the help of clinical, biochemical, radiological and microbiological
  methods. as a result the antimicrobial activity of the essential oils and
  their influence on metabolic and immune processes and on enzyme and
  hormonal systems has been brought to light. some double blind randomised
  trials concerned with a range of diseases have shown the beneficial action
  of essential oils on nervous and respiratory systems. these findings have
  made it possible to give concrete expression to all aromatherapy methods
  according to particular pathological processes. principles of aroma
  prophylaxis worked out by the institute were used in producing the
  artificial atmosphere in the spaceships "salyut", "mir" and "soyuz", and
  in the organisation of aromatherapeutic rooms in kindergardens, schools
  and enterprises. gaining experience gave the possibility to work out and
  start to produce the new preparation "poliol". this aerosol a composition
  of essential oils makes it possible to realise an effective prophylaxis of
  influenza and other viral infections, to restore bronchial potency, to
  standardise work of nervous and immune systems, to produce
  anti-inflammatory action and to improve sexual function
