Since many perfumers consider it of greater advantage and more suitable
to first dissolve the volatile oils used for the _Extraits d'Odeurs_,
and to prepare a tincture in this manner, several receipts for the
purpose are given below. In the receipts for perfumery given in the
next following sections, the volatile oils are specified as such, and
not as tinctures, because the _Extraits d'Odeurs_ containing evidently
much non-saturated alcohol, the volatile oils will in time completely
dissolve in them. An exception to this rule might be ylang-ylang oil
and perhaps orris-root oil. Ylang-ylang oil is soluble with difficulty,
even in very strong alcohol, and if directly used for the _Extrait_,
the latter remains turbid for weeks, and frequently, especially in
winter, does not become clear, notwithstanding repeated filtering.
However, by preparing in good time an ylang-ylang tincture this evil is
avoided.
