Cologne Making

ABSTRACT
Background: Perfume is generally composed of essential oil, ethanol, and water. Based on the amount of essential oil present, fragrances can be classified in different types.
Objective: The objective of the experiment is to prepare cologne, to determine role of each material use in the product, to determine the effect of varying the amount of alcohol, and essential oil used in the cologne and to determine the effect of temperature in the quality of the cologne.
Methods: The required amount of chemicals was weighed properly and the essential oil was dissolved in ethanol then it was diluted with water. The fragrances were refrigerated and stored at room temperature before observing the after effects when used.
Results: The results showed that colognes stored in the refrigerator persisted longer than in room temperature and colognes used in fabric also persisted a lot longer than on skin.
Conclusion: All objectives were successfully reached in this experiment as the results agreed with the principles in cologne making.
INTRODUCTION
Perfume making is probably one of the oldest forms of chemistry. Perfume makers soon realized that, by adding other ingredients to a plant's essential oils, not only could less oil be used, but the essential oil's scent would last longer.
Many ancient perfumes were made by extracting natural oils from plants through pressing and steaming. The oil was then burned to scent the air. Today, most perfume is used to scent bar soaps. Some products are even perfumed with industrial odorants to mask unpleasant smells or to appear "unscented".
While fragrant liquids used for the body are often considered perfume, true perfumes are defined as extracts or essences and contain a percentage of oil distilled in alcohol. Water is also used. The United States is the world's largest perfume market with annual sales totalling several billions of dollars.
