blog
The Scentspiracy blog is where perfumery knowledge meets critical inquiry. Here, we explore the molecular architecture of scent, the historical evolution of fragrance chemistry, and the technical challenges facing modern formulation, from regulatory shifts to raw material innovation.
Each article is designed to go beyond surface-level information. Whether dissecting the biosynthesis of fruity esters, profiling the chemists who shaped aromatic synthesis, or examining fixative strategy in EdP concentration, our approach combines scientific rigor with cultural and aesthetic context.
This is a resource for perfumers, students, formulators, and fragrance professionals who value depth, precision, and the intersection of art and chemistry. Expect technical essays, ingredient monographs, regulatory updates, and explorations of olfactory craft that respect both tradition and innovation.

FEMA GRAS
The FEMA GRAS program began in 1959 with a survey of the flavor industry to identify flavor ingredients then in use and to provide estimates of the amounts of these substances used to manufacture flavors. The initial FEMA Expert Panel was established in 1960 beginning the Expert Panel’s evaluation of the safety of flavor ingredients that continues today. Then and now, the Expert Panel usually consists of six to eight members and over the years has been comprised of top experts in toxicology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, metabolism, and pathology.
