The global perfume and fragrances market is expected to gain a pos­itive traction in the forecast period. Perfumes and fragrances are produced synthetically and are in the expansion phase owing to use of essential oils and fragrance complexes. In the early stag­es of manufacturing, major compounds were removed from natural products and their structure included processes for isolation or synthesis. With the ad­vances in modern analytical techniques, it becomes possible to isolate and iden­tify fragrance and flavor substances that occur in natural products in small amounts. Commercially, natural com­pounds are obtained from the natural sources by enzymatic or microbial pro­cedures and produced synthetically but chemically identical to natural coun­terparts. On the contrary, artificial fla­vor substances are compounds not yet identified in plants or animal products; whereas aldehydes, ketones, esters, and lactones are compounds that are fre­quently used in natural and artificial fragrances.
