Creating Leathery Scent for Leathery Product and Perfume from Natural Materials

Aim and Objectives: The aim of this research is to create leathery scents from natural compounds to replace chemical synthesis for leathery products and perfume.

Materials and Methods: All the materials for making the leathery fragrance were taken from the project on Vietnam essential oils and related natural products. In our experiments, we used the volatile solvent is a solvent of alcohol 96%, and an odorless solvent diethyl phthalate (DEP).

Fragrance assessment by olfactory, the aroma is diluted with an odorless diethyl phthalate (DEP) solvent, followed by a special scent paper and the smell of the nose to assess the scent. The leathery fragrance was tested on leathery shoes 0.3%, leathery product 0.2%, perfume 5% by weight.

Results: After the experiment, we have selected fragrance FLS for leathery shoes, FLP for leathery products and FP for perfume. The main aroma of leathery odor is made up of Woody notes, Animalic notes, Amber notes, Sweet notes, Fruity notes, Floral notes. The main note of leathery scent was Woody notes with Sassafras oil, Ambergris absolute, Cassie oil, Sytrax resin, Labdanum resin, Poumu oil, Sandalwood oil, Cedarwood oil, Vetiver oil, Orris absolute, Galbanum oil, Guaiacwood oil, Ionone, Methyl ionone.

Conclusions: We have created the leathery fragrances FLS for leathery shoes, FLP for leathery products, and FP for perfume from ingredients derived from natural origin.
