Making raspberry perfume

"this could violently explode but I'm pretty sure it won't" dude what lol

Every time he says, "I added water" im like, "Yeah I know what that chemical is"

Honestly, the biggest thing I’ve taken away from this channel is the stir bar, I love it an unreasonable amount, the way you just throw it in and it SPINS, amazing.

As someone who has watched nearly every one of niles videos, I gotta say I found out why I love him. He doesn’t explain what he knows he doesn’t have to. You don’t know a smack of chemistry? He says just enough to both entertain and enthrall. You know chemistry? You’re probably either cringing at a result or right there along with him, probably able to guess what he will have to do next. His videos are catered to either side of the coin at once and it’s remarkable.

Damn. I clicked on this vid thinking, "oh fun cute diy raspberry perfume" but instead I got chemistry class. Not disappointed.

Nobody: NileRed: not an issue. With chemistry, you can often d i s r e g a r d t h e l a w s o f n a t u r e

I love how effortlessly he can say those chemical words like 4-hydroxysupercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Everytime nile says that he had to order something from Sigma, with that slight hint of disappointment, I feel him Sigma stuff is so overpriced lol

People Who Watch These Videos: 1% Actual Chemists 99% Have no idea what he’s talking about, they just think reactions look neat

“I could also just be bad at chemistry, but I prefer not to believe that.” Exactly the words I tell to myself when I fail my chem exams.

My mom introduced me to chemistry at age 8 to encourage any and all of my interests. So I asked her to show me how to make a stink bomb! No problem, all that was required was iron and sulphur. Since you mention stinky 'perfumes' this is derived from the rotten egg smell. The yoke contains sulphur, and oxidation with iron results in FeS. (En Français Fesses translates to A$$). And this is how every year she would introduce me to yet another discipline. (She was a University Professor). At 7, biology, at 8 Chemistry, at 9 Electronics. And the rest is history. "To change the world, we must encourage the passions of the youth."

“Faintly sweet and kinda fruity-“ That can describe a lot of things...

These sorts of chem videos is what I thought science class would be like in 5th grade

I understand but i also dont understand.

NileRed is such a gifted chemist. I am absolutely fascinated by chemistry and Nile does such an incredible job at explaining everything he does. Thank you for the awesome content!!

nile saying 'kinda fruity' gives me a concerning amount of joy..

Since it smells faintly fruity and sweet, you could put it in a subtle but decorative bottle with a light pink ribbon around the neck. Call it "NilePink".

21:29 "i would have to force it to become a solid" Me: ooh he's gonna add some weird chemical. puts it in freezer Me: that works too

He said he wanted to make the worst smelling thing possible 2 years later and he’s finally doing it

"The Hydrogen gas will flow into my trap" Good Job Nigel! You outsmarted a gas.
