After graduating from college with a master’s degree in chemistry, Polly wasn’t sure where to begin her career. For the last two years, she worked as an intern for a worldwide perfume company that wanted to hire her full time. She liked working there and had made many good contacts, but she wanted to try working for herself. So, Polly decided to try producing perfume on her own in a home lab that she’d been experimenting in when she had free time. The perfume she liked to make was all organically based from a variety of flowers, herbs, and spices.
