They can be used to enhance bready, nutty, and roasted effects, and adding notes of coffee, popcorn, butter, rice, and matcha, among others. Furanones, for their part, can add a caramelly, malted, fruited and even savory effects. As useful as they are, these materials are potent, and can be hard to work with. In this class, Spyros Drosopoulos leads an exploration of these difficult materials in a theory-oriented class. We will start the session by smelling a selection of pyrazines and furanones, learning how they can be deployed in perfumery to create important effects and impressions.
