In the mood for love
 
 
 
The scent of success is sweet indeed — especially for students of Singapore Polytechnic (SP) who concocted two perfumes that captured the hearts of Singaporeans earlier this year.

Nine students from the School of Chemical and Life Sciences experimented with 100 different types of scents before settling on two — a sensual mix of freshly picked flowers for ladies and a musky, seductive blend for men.

The perfumes, which are the first Singapore perfumes to be created and retailed by students, were developed and formulated at SP’s Cosmetics and Fragrance Centre.

When 3,000 bottles of the limited edition perfumes hit Seiyu departmental stores in February this year, they were snapped up. This attests to the students’ entrepreneurial spirit and ability to innovate and create products with market appeal. SP is now exploring the possibility of commercialising the perfumes on a larger scale.
