Today I’m showing you how to make smelly jelly [gelatin] air fresheners. They slowly evaporate, releasing & dispersing scent into the air. Make them with water beads or gelatin (showing both).
GELATIN RECIPE: Bring 100 milliliters distilled water to a boil (use any heating method).  Stir in 1 packet [1 tablespoon] gelatin (or ½ tablespoon agar) & stir until dissolved.  Stir in 60 milliliters alcohol (or Vodka) & 100 milliliters [room temperature] water.  Cool mixture below 120 degrees and add 3 milliliters preservative (I used Germall plus). * Potassium sorbate is highly recommended; it's specifically designed to preserve food.  Mix well, then pour mixture into 4, 4-ounce jars.  Add fragrance oil & color to each- you choose how much (I added 1 teaspoon [5 milliliters] fragrance oil to each).  NOTE: This is a mild air freshener so use a strong scent.  
WATER BEADS: 50 milliliters distilled water, 15 milliliters alcohol, 1 milliliter preservative (Germall plus).  Add 5 milliliters fragrance oil + 1 milliliter polysorbate 80 to a cup. Mix them together. Stir in water mixture. Pour liquid over 2 tablespoons of water beads.  
DISCOVERY: I conducted 30+ experiments & found out a LOT: * Isopropyl alcohol & Vodka produces the same physical results. * I experimented with polysorbate 80 (1 milliliter/ 5 milliliters fragrance oil) & it solved the separation issue (& turned jellies opaque), however, I couldn’t unequivocally determine if the polysorbate 80 interfered with the jellies ability to disperse scent.  (I don’t think so, but more testing is required) * Set jellies on the counter or in refrigerator (both produce same results).  * You may add salt (+ 1/2 tablespoon table salt after gelatin & dissolve). I added salt before and they came out great. NOTE: Salt can also act as a preservative, but salt weakens gelatin’s stability, gelling ability, & lowers gelatin’s melting point.  So, it may lead to your jellies melting.  * I wouldn’t think a preservative to be necessary with distilled water, alcohol, & if especially if adding salt.  But I added it to be safe! * I only conducted a few experiments with water beads.  I feel like they can probably hold more fragrance oil (especially since using polysorbate 80). * I believe the maximum amount of fragrance the jellies can hold is 5 milliliters [1 teaspoon] per 4 ounce jar.... But this is up to you!
