The Fragrance Freak Out
Overview
Objectives/Goals The objective of our project is to test out the toxicity of perfumes, colognes, and body sprays. Methods/Materials The materials that we used are, plastic cups, saran wrap, cotton balls, and crickets.

The colognes we used are Signature Gold by Axe, Wolfthorn by Old Spice, 212 by Carolina Herrera, and Prada by Prada.

Viva la juicy by juicy couture and Wolfthorn by Old Spice killed the crickets the fastest. Conclusions/Discussion In the end our hypothesis was wrong and our testing revealled to by careful about what you put on to your body and to be careful about the toxins you put on to yourself.
