4.0 out of 5 stars perfume science kit, January 18, 2007

By	D. Neuse (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this for my 11-year old girl. She (and little sis) both had fun with it. The only caveat is make sure an adult helps. The chemicals can mar furniture, and bottle tops and stoppers are too tough for kids to open and close. This is the only reason I give it a 4 out of 5. Another fluke with our kit was the presence of some sort of grub that had burrowed into the Styrofoam container(eeww). We added a biology lesson to our perfume chemistry!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Science Kit, Super Homeschooling Springboard Project!, January 1, 2007

By	Alouette1 "alouette1" (USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this for my daughter who is home schooling and she loves it. She is a girly-girl who gets teased by her jock sisters for how she is. Once she got this, her passion for perfumes became a science. She loves studying the anatomy associated with olfactory sencing and she is getting into the whole science of aromatherapy and how scents affect our moods. The kit is very basic-- but she is expanding into her own and buying new scents and bases.

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This is a really neat science kit for those girls who like to make their own perfume. Included in the kit is a great book which covers the background of perfumes and different experiments that you can do.
