Formulation And Evaluation of a Perfume Combining Hibiscus And Passion Flower For Unique Fragrance Innovation

This study explores the formulation and evaluation of a natural floral perfume utilizing Hibiscus spp. and Passiflora spp. (passion flower). These botanicals were selected for their aromatic and skin-friendly properties. The preparation process involved infusion, extraction, and blending with ethanol, fixatives, essential oils, and glycerin. The final product was subjected to physical and sensory evaluations, including pH measurement, spot testing, appearance, aroma profiling, and skin irritancy testing. Results indicated a clear, light-yellow perfume with a floral fragrance, a skin-compatible pH of 5.7, no irritation, and an overall pleasant sensory experience. These findings suggest the formulation is effective, safe, and well-received.
