Abstract

An evaporation study was conducted on the skin of several volunteers to examine whether skin properties influence fragrance molecules' evaporation rates. The aim was to identify the observed variations and explore the responsible fragrance molecular and skin factors. To study the evaporation phenomenon, fragrance molecules evaporation was semi-quantified from each volunteer's skin. This approach allowed a comparison of evaporation across individuals and provided insights into how the fragrance molecules interacted differently depending on skin types. Skin properties were subsequently measured to explain the observed differences in evaporation between individuals. Statistical analysis was performed to understand how both skin type and the intrinsic properties of fragrance molecules contribute to the observed variations in evaporation rates. This study offers promising results, advancing our understanding of the evaporation behaviour of fragrance molecules and its relationship with the physicochemical properties of the skin and the intrinsic characteristics of the fragrances.
