Genius Hour: Update

This week I was really busy so I didn’t have too much time to work on my project. Although this sucked I just bought more essential oils to mix and try diffrent scents. I also contacted my expert which was a small buisness in Edmonton called Amana Fragrences In an Instagram dm. I asked her for tips and tricks and her proccess on how she makes them so I will check back in with you guys next week and I will also mix new scents and give an update on that! Bye!

Genius Hour: Update

I started experimenting with different scents using the steam method it was way harder than I had imagined and no matter what I tried in the end there would be no smell. Although this put a wrench in my plans I was determined to make a perfume so I tried the oil method I already had lavender, peppermint and eucalyptus scents so i tried to make a scent out of those. Now here’s the thing it didn’t smell bad it just wasn’t the scent I was going for so, I am going to try more mixing as well as buy more scents. I also need to find someone to contact for my project so I am going to do that right now. See you next week!

Genius Hour: Update

Hi everyone, this genius hour project I can’t work with my perfumes in class so instead I will be contacting my expert; bath and body works about tips and tricks. So I was checking the internet for thier email but I couldn’t find one that wasn’t for complaints. Although this was a slight bump in the road for me I thought of other ways to contact someone and my teacher gave me an advice to contact a small buisness instead because there is a higher chance they will respond so now I am looking for a shop to contact, and once I do that I will start working on the mixing scents part and let you guys know what happens next week.

Genius Hour Plan

This term I will be learning how to make diffrent scented perfumes. To acheive this goal I am going to try many diffrent stratigies which you can see in my perivious blog post. I am definetly going to need essential oil scents, herbs, water, flowers, fruit and much more just to make the scents right. I am also going to need to boil water to catch the scents just right as well as just nice bottles and herb sticks in the perfume to make it look nice. I have never done anything like this before although I don’t think that I will need help with much at all because most of the process other than boiling the water is just experimenting to get better scents.

Some steps that will be needed are:

  1. Taking a trip to bath and body works to ask in more depth about thier perfumes in general
  2. Buying the companys product and test and compare
  3. Using trial and error on humans
