Making Scents

This article is about a lady named Hannah Follis and her job making scented candles and perfumes on her job. This lady majored in biology and minored in chemistry then saw an add and was about making perfumes and scented candles so she tried it out and she pretty much loves her job. Follis says that you need to know chemistry really well in order to get the feel for this job. She also says that the process in making it will need oils from certain plants and even vegetables, I think that’s pretty weird to use vegetables to make a scented candle or a perfume but I think that sounds cool to see somebody extract oils from it and I didn’t even know that some vegetables could give off oils. Some candles come to be by the marketers find that there is a demand for a certain candle scent that’s when the illume research and development team makes that certain scent become a reality.

To make these scents they also use fruits bark leaves flowers and vegetables as said earlier and they mix them with other chemicals to make that fragrance. The perfumer also needs to be creative in making those new scents for the market and economy. Some fragrances also have different colors because they will use different formulas to it
