Why People use Perfume?

9 Reasons!!!

1. Fragrance - number one and common reason. It helps keep unwanted body odour and ensures you smell good all day.

2. Enhances Mood - helps lift your spirits. People wear it to project their mood.

3. Boost Confidence - just like a pretty dress. Ensures that you get through the day without feeling conscious of your body odour. Choose a scent that suits your personality.

4. Makes you attractive - the sense of smell is one of the most important of the five senses. Sometimes, you can get attracted to someone because of the way they smell. Perfumes re rich in pheromones and make you attractive.




5. Aphrodisiac - this explains why you get attracted to someone e.g. by scent

6. Boost Health - (emotional) keeps stress and other anxiety related issues away.

7. Trigger Memories - many women wear their mother's signature scent to revive memories. 

8. Aromatherapy - ensures your stress level is in control.

9. Treats Insomnia - for relaxation.

What is a PERFUME?

What is a perfume?
         A perfume is a mixture of fragrant essential oils or aroma compounds, fixatives and solvents. It is used to give humans, animals, foods, objects an agreeable scent.

         Did you know that perfumery began in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt and was further refined by the Romans and Arabs? The word perfume derives from the Latin "perfumare", meaning 'to smoke through'.

        Tappult Belatehallin was the first perfume maker-and first woman chemist- mentioned in a cuneiform tablet from the 2nd millennium B.C. of Mesopotamia.

Vy Scenté - my own organic perfume brand name. I got the idea from my nickname-to-be which is VY and the word SCENT. I made it sound like the male names "Vincent" or "Vicente". I thought it made it cool :)
   

Photos of my Perfumes

Yey! Week 3 of Passion Project. 

How are you? I did my perfumes. Calling for celebrations. But, we don't have time for that now cause I have a research to do in order to inform everyone about perfumes. 

Do you like perfumes? What kind of scent is your favourite? Did you know that your personality and mood can be describe using fragrance? Maybe, we are using perfumes just to look nice and put together. But there's nothing wrong with that. 

I have used ethanol alcohol with 95% concentration to determine which is better, organic or synthetic?

Here are my final products. I decorated the bottles last week with washi tape and stickers. Isn't it cute? 

Follow my blog about this project to learn more. My research will come up soon < 3

Organic Perfume Blog

Making your own perfume. Sounds exciting, right? Indeed. Making your own organic perfume is very beneficial, to you, and to the environment.

A week ago, I started experimenting my formulae and ratios. Since I can only get lavender oil, sweet orange oil, and peppermint oil, my scents are limited. I can't find jojoba oil yet at this point. Distilled water, the answer for the absence of jojoba oil as my carrier oil.

So far, my research has been going well. I am working quickly. Surprisingly, my plans for the next period are being completed before the time. I was about to put my videos and photos but a year * students deleted it so, wait 'till today and I'm going to give you a peek on what I'm doing.
