- Set up an experiment to see how long it takes for a room full of people to smell somebody’s perfume (or aftershave). You could compare different brands. Think about ‘subjective’ and ‘objective’ results – see if there is a more ‘scientific’ method of measuring the perfume’s smell. Decide whether or not the temperature of the room makes a difference
