What chemicals react with alcohol?
When you say "alcohol", I am not sure if you are referring to ethanol (drinking alcohol) or alcohols in general so in my example I will use ethanol. When an alcohol is combined with a carbocylic acid and a catalyst, they will produce esters (fragrances). For example, ethanol and ethanoic acid would react to produce ethyl ethanoate (a fruity smelling substance) and water. 



There are a plethora of different reactions from all different types of alcohols and carbocylic acids that produce countless different smells. The fragrances also come in a variety of colors as well. If you want to find out more, I would suggest looking up ester synthesis. Hope my answer helps.
