Have you thought about making petrichor (smell of fresh rain)? I think that would be really neat.

[@sidechain0]

That's kind of difficult. There are few perfumes which smell like petrichor, but nothing comes close. MFK Oud is my favorite, Narciso Rodriguez for Him is another one that's good.

[@danilooliveira6580]

doesn't petrichor depends a lot on where you live though ? I imagine that just like in this video, you can't just get geosmin and expect it to smell like petrichor, it probably depends a lot on the kinds of of plants and earth you can find in the area. for the same reason its also interesting to think that maybe your expectation of how petrichor smells like could be different than mine.

Honestly, the biggest thing I’ve taken away from this channel is the stir bar, I love it an unreasonable amount, the way you just throw it in and it SPINS, amazing.

[@catc8927]

The bar itself is just a magnet coated in Teflon. The spinning motion comes from a spinning magnet in the hot plate underneath that it lines up with when you toss it in. My favorite part of stir bars is how you can easily fish them out using another bigger magnet.

When I was but a wee las, my family had a peach tree in the back yard. Mid-late summer would come and I'd collect all the peach pits off the ground from the fruit that never got picked. Then I'd smash them open to get the tiny seed inside and mash them up with some water to make it smell like almonds. I now know I was straight up snorting cyanide as a kid.

Since it smells faintly fruity and sweet, you could put it in a subtle but decorative bottle with a light pink ribbon around the neck. Call it "NilePink".

[@HaydenX]

If you add Isoamyl Acetate (ester found in bananas and pears) and Vanillin, as well as a spicier top note (such as bergamot), you'd have a well-balanced and sweet perfume that would be cheap to manufacture, and last a while when applied. The end resulting perfume should evoke such a generic "pleasant" response, that it wouldn't have to be any particular season to get full mileage out of it. In fact, it would be the kind of fragrance that would also serve well in body wash or laundry detergent. Two additional variants to this base could veer it into additional applications: 1. A small amount of jasmine extract would smooth it all out and make a wonderful scent for women's deodorant; 2. Instead of jasmine, adding cardamom extract would make an excellent scent for lotion, as the high volatility of cardamom could carry the end scent through the muddling that a lotion base provides. Basically, any kind of scent which is notable but vague, is perfect to build a scent base around, as it guarantees a specific quality (sweetness in this case) that will always show through even as other scents are layered on top (as long as you don't overdo it). Castoreum also fits this description (sweet, mildly nutty), as does moss (woody, earthy). Perfumery is such an interesting study and hobby...at least to me.

My mom introduced me to chemistry at age 8 to encourage any and all of my interests. So I asked her to show me how to make a stink bomb! No problem, all that was required was iron and sulphur. Since you mention stinky 'perfumes' this is derived from the rotten egg smell. The yoke contains sulphur, and oxidation with iron results in FeS. (En Français Fesses translates to A$$). And this is how every year she would introduce me to yet another discipline. (She was a University Professor). At 7, biology, at 8 Chemistry, at 9 Electronics. And the rest is history.

maybe try muriatic acid + chlorine bleach instead. it's often a lot easier to get started, and reacts for longer. see how well you can get it to react

That was friggin' awesome, great work! I'm a hobbyist perfumer myself, so I thought it was pretty cool to see how some of my favorite materials are made. If you want to want to make that into a more robust raspberry smell, I would suggest adding small amounts of linalool, limonene, and beta-pinene. Ethyl 6-acetyloxyhexanoate (Berryflor) can also go a long way in bringing out the fresh raspberry smell. Use small amounts at low dilution (1-10% is pretty standard. I'd start with the 1%, so you don't accidentally overwhelm your mixture). That 95% etyhyl alcohol you have is perfect as a solvent; if you added a small touch of Bitrix (denatonium benzoate) to it, you'd have standard perfumer's alcohol.

[@JBaker452]

Hello NR, I would like to make an investigation request. This is not related to the red raspberry chem, but related to bird chem. Many bird owners such as myself have noticed what we call the "wet bird" smell. It seems that when water is added to a bird, there is a aromatic change (not offensive per say, bit noticeable and very distinct). It lasts only as long as the bird is wet. Now, I know that birds excrete their own kind kind of "talcum powder" that they use to lubricate their wings so that they slide smoothly with less less friction, and I suspect that it is this that is reacting with the water. But this is only my guess. Might be worth an investigation, and I'm sure bird owners would find it interesting. Thanks for your videos.

What I like best about NileRed's videos is he's so brilliant he's not afraid to show you where things don't go perfectly according to plan. And because he's such a good chemist you know that it's the inherent difficulty of the process, not a deficiency in the one performing it.

Oh man. I work for a company that produce synthetic flavors. Our lab (one of a few on site), is specifically tasked with working out which chemicals in a given substance contribute to the (perceived) smell in air. I'm only in my first year in this job and already I've learnt that there can be easily a dozen chemicals that contribute to a smell. Or as Nile said, just a couple or even one can do the job. Such an interesting part of chemistry. I come to this channel to have a relaxed look at the great range of experiments held here and it's always a humorous and well produced show. Many props to the team. (Edit: grammar x2)
