摘要

In the present study the composition of some of the best-selling perfumes of recent years has been evaluated, focusing on the quantitative assessment of potential aphrodisiac ingredients of these fragrances, such as vanillin, ethylvanillin, trans- and cis-methyl dihydrojasmonate, muskolactone and muscone. Seven samples of different brands (three women's and four men's fragrances) were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. All the other major and minor constituents were assigned based on MS spectra library (Wiley) matching, followed by pattern analysis using chemometric data-mining (PCA). Trans-methyl dihydrojasmonate was found in all analyzed fragrances, with the highest concentration found in a perfume for women. Based on the obtained data, it seems that a common pattern of "most wanted recipe" among both men and women consumers is to be observed, based on some of the classical scents of vanilla, jasmine and musk.
