INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this project was to test which qualities made up the ideal cologne. We tested the products: Calvin Klein One, Adidas Moves Him, and Old Spice Classic. We asked volunteers rate the colognes on different criteria. The volunteers were asked to smell each fragrance and we asked participants to rate the colognes on scent from a scale of one to ten based on its attractiveness the participants use scent wheel to pick up on key words such as: fresh, oriental, woody, and floral and then them we had the participants rate the colognes on a scale of 1-10 using the keywords. to find out the best levels in order to make a good cologne. We found that the best intensity level for a cologne is about a 7 on a 1-10 scale and that a high oriental scent level correlates a higher overall score. This means that in order to make an attractive product, we need to have a lot of oriental scents and a medium amount of intensity. After further testing we wanted to see if it would cause any skin irritation and we did that by asking 10 willing people to spray the cologne on the back of there hand and then after the cologne was sprayed on there hand for 30 minutes we called the participants back and noted any discoloration or rashes that the cologne would have caused.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In order to find out what makes a good cologne or perfume, we selected five key qualities in and tested them individually. We tested three products on their lasting time, scent profile, irritation of the skin, scent intensity, and viscosity. We had conducted a subjective survey style testing as well as objective testing for qualities such as viscosity. We had test groups rate the cologne on a scent index consisting of the categories: Floral, Fresh, Woody, and Oriental.
RESULTS
For this lab we had tested many things. We wanted to test if the Cologne/Perfume was long lasting so what we did was sprayed the back of hands with one spray of each of the colognes and every 15 minutes we would smell the back of our hand to see if it still had its smell and then we recorded that data. After my group and I got results for the scent length we then tested the scent overall and we did that by asking ten participants to smell each fragrance Ask participants to rate product on scent from a scale of one to ten based on its attractiveness, use scent wheel to pick up on key words such as: fresh, oriental, woody, and floral and we had them rate the colognes on a scale of 1-10 using the keywords. Then after we got results for the scent length and the overall scent we wanted to see if of the colognes would cause skin irritation. We tested the skin irritation by asking 10 willing people to spray the cologne on the back of there hand and then after the cologne was sprayed on there hand for 30 minutes we called the participants back and noted any discoloration or rashes that the cologne would have caused. After we were done with that test we then wanted to find out the overall scent intensity, so we asked 10 willing participants again to rate the strength of the cologne on a scale of 1-10 and then we noted there answers and then averaged the number for the 3 colognes. Finally when it came to our last test we wanted to test the viscosity of the 3 colognes to water so what we did was added 10 mL of cologne to an inclined surface of 10 degrees and recorded the time it takes for your liquid to reach the bottom of the incline and then we compared the time each of the liquids take to water and record the results

DISCUSSION
Based on our data, we are able to conclude that a high oriental scent index leads to a higher overall score and that a good intensity score is around a seven. This means if one were to create a fragrance, balancing the amount of scents compared to each other is vital to a good overall score and that one should adjust the overall amount of alcohol in a fragrance to get the perfect amount of intensity and that one should try to get these values to around a seven.
