Making Spicy Perfume (Chemistry Experiments)

In this experiment, we will make a bottle of spicy perfume.
Things Required:
Small baby food jar with lid
Rubbing alcohol
15 whole cloves

Directions:
Place the whole cloves in the jar. Fill the jar one-half full with the rubbing alcohol. Secure the lid and allow the jar to set for seven days. Use your finger to dab a few drops of the alcohol on your wrist. Allow the alcohol to evaporate; then smell your wrist.
This Is What Happens:
The skin has a faint, spicy smell.
Science Behind It:
The alcohol dissolves the aromatic oil in the cloves. When the alcohol evaporates from the wrist, the scented oil is left on the skin. Perfumes are made by dissolving oils from flowers and other aromatic materials in alcohol.
