Askinson, George William
Cosmetics; Perfumes
Extract of orange flower, from pomade 2 qts.
Extract of rose, from pomade 4 qts.
Extract of tuberose, from pomade 1 qt.
Extract of violet, from pomade 1 qt.
Oil of bitter almond 40 grains.
Oil of lemon 16 grains.
ESSENCE OF PEPPERMINT (EXTRAIT DE MENTHE).
Oil of peppermint 6½ oz.
Alcohol 5 qts.
TINCTURE OF MUSK (EXTRAIT DE MUSC).
Musk 2½ oz.
Alcohol 5 qts.
This tincture is of special importance, not so much because of its odor
as on account of its useful property of fixing other very volatile
odors.
EXTRACT OF MYRTLE (EXTRAIT DE MYRTE).
Owing to the small yield of essential oil furnished on distillation
by the myrtle and the comparatively high price of the oil of myrtle,
nearly all the extract of myrtle is prepared artificially, as follows:
Extract of jasmine, from pomade ½ pint.
Extract of orange flower, from pomade 1 qt.
Extract of rose, from pomade 2 qts.
Extract of tuberose, from pomade 1 qt.
Tincture of vanilla 1 qt.
EXTRACT OF NARCISSUS.
In perfumery, two extracts of narcissus are distinguished—true extract
of narcissus, from the flowers of the garden plant, Narcissus poeticus,
and the so-called extract of jonquille, from Narcissus Jonquilla,
which is cultivated in Southern France and whose odor is obtained by
maceration. Genuine extract of narcissus is even more rarely obtainable
than extract of jonquille; the odors of both are imitated, mainly
according to the following prescriptions:
1. EXTRACT OF NARCISSUS (EXTRAIT DE NARCISSE).
Extract of jonquille, from pomade 2 qts.
Extract of tuberose, from pomade 3 qts.
Tincture of storax ½ pint.
Tincture of tolu ½ pint.
2. EXTRACT OF JONQUILLE (EXTRAIT DE JONQUILLE).
Extract of jasmine, from pomade 2 qts.
Extract of orange flower, from pomade 1 qt.
Extract of tuberose, from pomade 2 qts.
Tincture of vanilla ½ pint.
ESSENCE OF CLOVE (EXTRAIT DE CLOUS DE GIROFLES).
Oil of clove 4½ oz.
Alcohol 5 qts.
EXTRACT OF PINK (EXTRAIT D’ŒILLET).
This pleasant odor occurs in commerce only as an imitation.
Extract of cassie, from pomade 2½ pints.
Extract of orange flower, from pomade 2½ pints.
Extract of rose, from pomade 5 pints.
Tincture of vanilla 20 fl. oz.
Oil of clove, a sufficient quantity, about 75 grains.
The oil of clove which determines the characteristic odor of this
extract is dissolved in a little alcohol; of this solution enough is
gradually added to the mixture until the odor has become sufficiently
strong.
EXTRACT OF ORANGE FLOWER OR NEROLI (EXTRAIT DE FLEURS D’ORANGES,
EXTRAIT DE NÉROLI).
