alcohol of the best quality, and when the solution is entirely clear
add it to the rest in the balloon. After standing for 14 days add
carefully orange-blossom water and rose water each 1.05 pints; shake

_Eau de Lavande._--For _eau de lavande_, but two receipts are given:
_Eau de vie de Lavande double ambrée_ and _eau de Lavande double_, the
former being a very agreeable perfume for toilet purposes, and is used
as an addition to wash-water as well as to baths and for fumigating. On
account of its balsamic constituents, _eau de Lavande ambrée_ in being
manufactured cannot be mixed with water, as the latter would produce
an emulsion which cannot be removed. _Eau de Lavande double_ is used
for the toilet, in the wash-water, or the bath. It is very popular, its
action upon the skin and nerves being refreshing and stimulating.
