A very similar and quite as effective a preparation may be made by dissolving the odorous principle of the plants indicated in a mixture of alcohol and acetic acid. Such preparations, however, are more within the province of the druggist than perfumer. There are, however, several preparations of vinegar which are sold to some extent for mixing with the water for lavatory purposes and the bath, their vendors endeavoring to place them in competition with Eau de Cologne, but with little avail. Among them may be enumerated-- HYGIENIC OR PREVENTIVE VINEGAR. Brandy, 1 pint. Otto of cloves, 1 drachm. " lavender, 1 " " marjoram, 1/2 drachm. Gum benzoin, 1 oz. Macerate these together for a few hours, then add-- Brown vinegar, 2 pints. and strain or filter, if requisite, to be bright. TOILET VINEGAR (_a la Violette_). Extract of cassie, 1/2 pint. " orris, 1/4 " Esprit de rose, triple, 1/4 " White wine vinegar, 2 pints. TOILET VINEGAR (_a la Rose_). Dried rose-leaves, 4 oz. Esprit de rose, triple, 1/2 pint. White wine vinegar, 2 pints. Macerate in a close vessel for a fortnight, then filter and bottle for sale. VINAIGRE DE COLOGNE. To eau de Cologne, 1 pint, Add, strong acetic acid, 1/2 oz. Filter if necessary. Without unnecessarily repeating similar formulae, it will be obvious to the reader that vinegar of any flower may be prepared in a similar way to those above noticed; thus, for vinaigre a la jasmine, or for vinaigre a la fleur d'orange, we have only to substitute the esprit de jasmine, or the esprit de fleur d'orange, in place of the Eau de Cologne, to produce orange-flower or jasmine vinegars; however, these latter articles are not in demand, and our only reason for explaining how such preparations may be made, is in order to suggest the methods of procedure to any one desirous of making them leading articles in their trade. We perhaps may observe, _en passant_, that where economy in the production of any of the toilet vinegars is a matter of consideration, they have only to be diluted with rose-water down to the profitable strength required. Any of the perfumed vinegars that are required to produce opalescence, when mixed with water, must contain some gum-resin, like the hygienic vinegar, as above. Either myrrh, benzoin, storax, or tolu, answer equally well. SECTION VI. BOUQUETS AND NOSEGAYS.
