ABSTRACT
Perfume can be defined as any mixture of pleasantly odours substances incorporated in a suitable solvent. In other words, perfume is the term applied to a conventionally strong alcoholic solution of odourants, as apposed to such water solutions as toilet water and eases. The act of perfume production is known as perfumery and a perfumer is the person who practice it. This perfume was produced from local raw materials to compete with perfume produced from synthetic raw materials as well as those imported from abroad. In the production, different perfume oils were used. Ethyl alcohol was introduced as a vehicle and castor oil was used to act as a fixative. The essential oils were poured into a flat bottomed flask, and was stirred slowly until complete dispersal was achieved. The mixture was left for. 48 hours and then water was added to reduce concentration. Then the mixture was left for three weeks to mature. A purified perfume was gotten after the local raw materials were subjected various processing conditions. Nine different types of perfume brand were formulated using the various perfume oil provided. The cost of producing perfume using local raw materials was cheaper than producing it using synthetic raw materials as well as those imported. Comparing the standard of the result of the perfumed produced with the market standard it was discovered that there was a slight difference between the qualities between local raw materials and the market standard. This project was done to make our country aware of their natural resources and to harness our natural endowment to produce adequate and reliable perfumes that would complete prodigiously with synthetic perfumes.
