Can hexyl acetate by used as a perfume?

It could be used, as it is used in deodorants, shampoos and soaps: and it is usually found at a 1% concentration. It is unlikely to be too much of an irritant as it is not necessary to label it as an allergen in the EU. Also, esters are found in sweets, perfume, nail varnish and (cheap) cling-film. But if you used hydrochloric acid or acetic acid, you do need to make sure its pure.

I used to build diesel engines and I would use Dawn Ultra dish detergent as a pre-treater for my clothes and then wash them with extra laundry detergent and add fabric softener and it would come out...I am a girl so I hated smelling like that stuff. Good luck

The fragrance is lab tested.  If you are stil unsure, use the unscented ones...  They won't fault you for it, and you will be assured peace of mind.  Good luck.

Oils from the scent glands of various animals and ambergris for the more expensive perfumes (sold $100s/ell). Cheaper perfumes use synthetics.

And many nail polishes use acetone as a solvent.  Acetone (aka dimethyl ketone, essentially a propane (3 carbon chain) with a double bonded oxygen on the middle carbon instead of two hydrogens), has some similar properties to formic acid (one carbon with a double bonded oxygen, one hydrogen and an -OH group). Namely that electronegative oxygen hangin' out there (electronegative means it grips electrons in bonds tightly).   That double bonded oxygen tickles some of the same receptors in your schnoz's olfactory cells, regardless of what elese it is attached to. \n\nTry a side by side sniffing of both and see if there is a vague difference.  The formic acid should also have a sour tang on top of the nail polish smell.  That would be that OH group.  When it sits on the same carbon as a double bonded oxygen, that oxygen hogs a lot of the carbon's electrons, making the carbon hog some of the electrons from the OH oxygen, making THAT oxygen hog the hydrogen's electron that much more, freeing up that hydrogen to go all H+ and wander off in the water as an H3O+ sometimes, aka an acid.  All organic acids have that carboxyl group .\n\nWiki has some diagrams of this stuff.\n\nAcetone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone\nCarboxyl: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxyl\nFormic Acid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formic_acid

If I remember correctly it is there to wash away any un-reacted reactants and also "neutralize" them. So if your proportions are not exact it will react away either of the reactants left since both would also be soluble in the ethyl acetate.

Most perfumes are complex combinations of natural materials, such as essential oils from plants, and synthetic products that increase the lasting power and heighten the smell. Alcohol is used as a liquid base for perfume, and the ratio of alcohol to scented perfume concentrates determines what the final concoction is labeled.\n\nFrom highest concentration to least, the different forms of perfume are:\n\n    * Perfume, also called extract or extrait perfume, can include 15-40% perfume concentrates. This is the purest form of scented product and is the most expensive as a result.\n\n    * Eau de parfum contains about 7-15% perfume concentrates. This is the most popular and common form of perfume. It provides a long-lasting fragrance and generally doesn't cost as much as extract perfume.\n\n    * Eau de toilette has around 1-6% perfume concentrates. This makes for a light scent that doesn't linger as long as the more intense versions. It was originally intended to be a refreshing body splash to help people wake up in the morning.\n\n    * Eau de cologne is sometimes used interchangeably with the term eau de toilette. However, the concoction began as the name of a light, fresh fragrance mixed with citrus oils and was made popular by Napoleon. Some perfumers today have a version of this called eau fraiche.

Many are esters, but aldehydes are also used in this manner.  For example: Isoamyl acetate smells like bananas and allyl hexanoate like pineapple.\nCinnamon is mostly Cinnamic aldehyde and synthetic vanillin is 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde.

I guess you would have to take a survey but most woman use a perfume that contains pheramones in it.Partygal is where I buy mine and it is a oil perfume. Woman can give off natural pheramones when in heat, this is a oil that enhances  your own scent and will attract the men.It is not strong at all and it smells different on anyone who uses it.

At room temperature and 1 atmosphere of pressure air is much less dense than water.  So, even if the molecules in air/perfume are moving at the same rate as those in the water/alcohol mixture, the perfume molecules will go farther before they collide with an air molecule.  Thus, perfume in air will diffuse much faster than alcohol in water.  \n\nBTW, I must correct blackdragon's comment that alcohol does not mix with water.  Most common short chain alcohols, such as methanol (wood alcohol), ethanol, and isopropanol mix well with water.  Ethanol is the alcohol in beer, wine, and other alcoholic drinks.

If it is a school project, go through the department chair to have them obtain the supplies for you, and give you the proper supervision.\n\nIt would raise the eyebrows of the authorites to do otherwise, as hexane could be used in meth production just like ether.\n\nIt is an explosion hazard similiar to ether, a proper lab at school is the place to use this.

Perfume\nThe most concentrated form of fragrance oil (and the most expensive), perfume is the strongest and longest-lasting of fragrance forms and may contain several hundred ingredients. It contains 20 to 50 percent perfume compound.\n\nEau de parfum\nAn alcoholic perfume solution containing 10 to 15 percent of perfume compound.\n\nEau de toilette (cologne)\nCologne is a light form of a specific fragrance with a 3 to 8 percent concentration of perfume compound in an alcohol water base. Cologne is less concentrated that Eau de Parfum. It is created with a lighter concentration of fragrance oil, and is ideal for a more subtle impression.\n\nMoisturizing perfume mist\nA moisturizing perfume mist is a fragrance that does not contain alcohol. It is a spray that contains oil and leaves skin with a silky smooth veil of perfumed moisturizers. It is ideal to wear in the warm weather because it is less drying to the skin.\n\nNatural spray\nA non-aerosol spray generated by pump action to produce a delicate misting of fragrance.\n\nHope this helps you!

Basic Perfume Recipe \n  \nThis is one of the simplest recipes for perfume making you can do at home. \n \n \n \nIngredients:\n\n2 cup of water \n1 cup fresh chopped flower blossoms\n\nDirections:\n\nIn a bowl place a cheesecloth where the edges are hanging over the bowl. Fill with 1 cup of flower blossoms of your choice. Pour water over the flowers until they are completely covered.\n \n  \n \nCover and let sit overnight. The next day using the edges of cheesecloth pull it out of the bowl and gently squeeze the scented water into a small pot. Simmer the water until about 1 teaspoon is left. Cool and place into a small bottle. Making perfume this way has a shelf life of about 1 month. \n\n\nOther suggestions for flowers: Lavender, Lilac, Orange Blossoms or even Honeysuckle. Anything that is highly fragrant works best.

The perfume has stuff in it with relatively low volatility (like oils, which can take a long time to evaporate) and that has a pleasant odor.

As long as it was a very light scent. I think it's kind of like confetti in an invite, it would bother people. Something subtle could be very elegant on the right style of invitation though.
