This research aims to identify and quantify the key compounds in a range of commercially available fragrances and analyze their potential therapeutic effects and benefits. Using advanced chromatographic techniques and mass spectrometry, the composition of aromatherapeutic compounds in selected fragrances were determined. The findings indicate that specific aromatherapeutic compounds, such as vanilin, azulene, furanone, thujopsene, lilial, cedrol, pinene, piperonal, ethylene brassylate, butylated hydroxytoluene, and limonene, have distinct effects on emotional state. This comparative analysis highlights both similarities and differences in their chemical profiles in their potential to modulate emotional states. It underscores the potential of aromatherapy as a complementary approach to emotional well-being. The study provides valuable insights for the fragrance industry, healthcare practitioners, and consumers seeking to leverage the benefits of aromatherapy for emotional regulation.en-USAromatherapyChromatographyChemical ProfileFragranceGas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS)text::journal::journal article249259112
