Hi there, this is Zoe.
When we talk about the act of "making", we usually think of something that is solid and touchable.
For my final project, I'm going to do something different. I will attempt to make a scent, a perfume, which can only be experienced through one of the five senses: smell.
First, I will start off by researching different methods of preserving scents, and the sources of different scents (e.g. flowers, food, spice). Then I will do various experiments to filter out the best solutions for my end product. During this process, I will avoid the use of artificial chemicals to keep my perfume natural and healthy.
My timeline will depend on how complicated the procedures are, I will update it after some brief researches.

It is not complicated at all to D.I.Y your own perfume. Once every material is gathered and prepared, your perfume factory is ready to start! Mine has started a day ago when I
The most time consuming process is actually the "maturation" of a perfume.
It can take up at most six weeks for the whole maturation process, the longer the better. Yet it doesn't mean that the perfume is not successful before the whole maturation procedure. It only indicates that the scent of the perfume will be changing throughout the time before it eventually matures and settles.

You have no idea how jealous I am right now. I truly wished this was my blog. When people ask what sense I would keep if I could only have one, my answer is indubitably smell.
ReplyDeleteI would have liked reading more about what inspired you to pick a scent over an object. Great start, looking forward to reading more!
I was actually inspired by Perfume: the Story of a Murderer and Harry Potter (those potion making classes in Hogwarts were always stunning for me to watch when I was little)! Haha, childish enough.
ReplyDeleteZoe, this looks very cool. I am curious to find out more about the history of perfume. Everything I know about it comes from a novel I read called Jitterbug Perfume (which is a very weird book, and the information might not be accurate). I think they were trying to make a beet pollen perfume... I am glad to hear it is not that complicated, and I look forward to hearing more about how a scent matures over time.
