Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Madame Curie would have loved this: A chemistry set for cologne connoisseurs. Packaged in a metal case, Applied Chemistry contains five test tubes of fragrance oils: IM4U (musk with floral undertones); OoAh (a woodsy scent); X2C (white florals); HeHe (tropical fruits) and Y (Oriental). Although the scents can be used alone, the whole idea is to whip up your own perfume potions. A book of recipes is included to get you going including instructions for warding off bad luck, attracting the opposite sex and mending a broken heart.
Applied Chemistry sells for $48 at Chiasso stores, 700 N. Michigan Ave. and 303 W. Madison St.
