    Abstract:
    The analysis of complex matrices, such as perfumes, by means of gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) can be rather imprecise due to the co-elutions, leading to a possible masking of odour-active trace-level compounds by major interferences or agglomeration of olfactive impressions resulting in unreliable olfactive characterization. To overcome these limits an innovative technique, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC x GC-O), was applied, revealing several relevant co-elutions, as in the linalool and linalyl acetate zones. A total of 177 compounds, out of these 135 odour-active, were detected by GC-O, while about 481 out of 818 compounds presented odour-activity through GC x GC-O analyses. In addition, GC/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and GC x GC/MS analyses were also performed. Peak assignment was achieved by means of different information sources, such as GC/MS, GC x GC/MS, LRI, injection of standards and olfactive impressions.
