Abstract

After having empirically determined the erotic effects of individual perfume materials, we shall now attempt to find relationships between these effects and the chemical structure of the materials. The observations will be confined to chemically defined single aroma chemicals, for the effect of the natural (and of course also of the artificial) complexes is only the total of the effects of their individual components. Once these are known, their contributions to the effects of complexes in which they occur can be understood.
