Forensics experts are building chemical profiles of popular fragrances to help them identify scents left on clothing and items touched by offenders. They hope that by building up a 'scent profile' of the person behind a crime, it can help to narrow down lists of suspects and even be used as evidence in court. Alison Davidson, a researcher at Staffordshire University's department of forensic and crime science, is leading the work in the hope that it can be used by police forensics teams. She said: 'Suspects can be smothered in fragrance and I am trying to find chemicals that can give some extra information.
You can get quite a complex mixture of different personal care products that can be used together to narrow down a list of suspects or build up a picture of a perpetrator. 'For example, Chanel No 5 is famous for using a particular aldehyde, so if I can see components that are typical of Chanel it might be possible to say a suspect comes from a certain socio-economic background. Similarly Lynx tends to be used by younger men. 'If we were to see some Gillette fragrances in there too, for example, then we can start to unpick a bit about who they are.' Mrs Davidson, who presented her findings to a recent meeting of the International Fragrance Association UK Fragrance Forum, is attempting to develop the technique so it can be submitted as robust evidence in court. She said samples of scents can be easily gathered from the clothing of victims or from swabs taken off hard surfaces. These can then be analysed in the laboratory for chemical signatures that match those found in beauty and personal hygiene products.
