For the preparation of _Extraits d'Odeurs_, the French perfumers also
manufacture a concentrated flower extract of the various odors. This
extract is simply dissolved in alcohol, the solution being effected
immediately, so that this method of preparing _Extraits d'Odeurs_ is
the simplest imaginable. However, the price of such extract (1000
francs = $200 and more per kilogramme = 2.2 lb.) is a considerable
item, so that most perfumers will prefer the extracts from the flower
pomades as previously described.
EXTRAITS D'ODEURS, QUALITY II.--In addition to the _fine_ extracts
given in the preceding section, a small selection of quite cheap
receipts for quality II of such extracts is here given, the extracts
No. 2 offering sufficient material for their preparation. In the
introduction to the previous section, attention has been called to
the fact that quite useful tinctures may be prepared from substances
leaving behind solid residues, there being also on hand the second
extract from the flower pomades.
Besides the alcohol, such tinctures and extracts cost only the small
trouble of treatment. For this second quality only half the quantity of
volatile oils prescribed for the best quality is used. Such tinctures,
from which a second extract cannot be had, may, for this purpose, be
diluted one-half with alcohol, which need not be of the best quality,
thus preparing a second quality of them.
The process to be followed is illustrated by a selection from the first
_Extrait_ receipts which have been converted into _Extraits_ of quality
II.
