Author(s): Tarik Ainane, M’hammed Elkouali, Ayoub Ainane and Mohammed Talbi

In this work, we have achieved a chemical study on the preparation of fragrance designed for men in traditional Moroccan style, these fragrance are based of essential oils of five medicinal plants of Moroccan origin: Lavandula dentata, Mentha spicata, Thymus vulgaris, Rosmarinus officinalis, Cladanthus mixtus. Essential oils are obtained from the plants by conventional extraction Clevenger, and the chemical composition of essential oils of this species was examined by GC-MS. The species examined shows that Lavandula dentata was rich in 1,8-cineole (47.42%) and sabinene (6.34%), Mentha spicata was rich in menthone (32.51%) and menthol (12.70%), Thymus vulgaris was rich in thymol (43.47%) and p-cymene (16.97%), Rosmarinus officinalis was rich in 1,8-cineole (45.34%), α-pinene (20.74%) and camphor (6.13%), and Cladanthus mixtus was rich in camphor (21.36%), β-myrcene (13.76%), santolinatriene (10.10%) and santolina alcohol (5.37%). Furthermore, the classic strategy of preparing this fragrance from essential oils could potentially be applied in global industries.
