Abstract
Extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (EESI-MS) was
applied to rapid fingerprinting of various perfumes for quality
classification. Unique EESI-MS fingerprints of ten famous brands were
obtained. This technique was shown to be applicable to rapid forgery
detection on the example of an authentic and a counterfeit ‘Miss Dior’
fragrance by Christian Dior. We believe that the high throughput and
simplicity of this sample-preparation-free method can be advantageous in
the perfume industry, for instance when applied to online quality
control. Copyright (C) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
