Hungary Water

Rectified alcohol, one gallon; otto of English rosemary, two ounces; otto of lemon-peel, one ounce; otto of balm (Melissa), one ounce; otto of mint, half drachm; esprit de rose, one pint; extract of fleur d'orange, one pint.

Vanilla

The pod or bean of the Vanilla planifolia yields a perfume of rare excellence.

Extract Of Vanilla

Half a pound of Vanilla pods, and one gallon of rectified spirit.

Slit the pods from end to end, so as to lay open the interior, then cut them up in lengths of about a quarter of an inch, macerate with occasional agitation for about a month; the tincture thus formed will only require straining through cotton to be ready for any use that is required. In this state it is rarely sold for a perfume, but is consumed in the manufacture of compound odors, bouquets, or nosegays, as they are called.

Verbena, Or Vervaine

The scented species of this plant, the lemon verbena, Aloysia citriodora (Hooker), gives one of the finest perfumes with which we are acquainted; it is well known as yielding a delightful fragrance by merely drawing the hand over the plant; some of the little vessels or sacks containing the otto must be crushed in this act, as there is little or no odor by merely smelling at the plant.

The otto, which can be extracted from the leaves by distillation with water, on account of its high price, is scarcely, if ever, used fey the manufacturing perfumer, but it is most successfully imitated by mixing the otto of lemon grass, Andro-pogon schosnanthus, with rectified spirit, the odor of which resembles the former to a nicety. The following is a good form for making the

Extract Of Verbena

One pint of rectified spirit; three drachms otto of lemon grass; two ounces otto of lemon peel; half an ounce otto of orange peel.

After standing together for a few hours, and then filtering, it is fit for use.

Another mixture of this kind, presumed by the public to be made from the same plant, but of a finer quality, is composed thus:

Extrait De Verveine

One pint of rectified spirit; one ounce of otto of orange peel; two ounces of otto of lemon peel; one drachm of otto of citron; two drachms and a half of otto of lemon grass; seven ounces of extrait de fleur d'orange; seven ounces of extrait de fleur tubereuse; half a pint esprit de rose.

This mixture is exceedingly refreshing, and is one of the most elegant perfumes that is made.

Winter Green (Trientalis Europoea)

A perfuming otto can be procured by distilling the leaves of this plant; it is principally consumed in the perfuming of soaps. Upon the strength of the name of this odorous plant a very nice handkerchief perfume is made.

Citron

On distilling the flowers of the Citrus niedica, a very fragrant oil is procured, which is a species of neroli, and is principally consumed by the manufacturers of eau de Cologne.

Citronella

Under this name there is an oil in the market, chiefly derived from Ceylon and the East Indies. Being cheap, it is extensively used for perfuming soap. What is now extensively sold as "honey" soap, is a fine yellow soap, slightly perfumed with this oil.

Cloves

Every part of the clove plant (Caryophyllus aromaticui) abounds with aromatic oil, but it is most fragrant and plentiful in the unexpanded flower-bud, which are the cloves of commerce. The plant is a native of the Moluccas and other islands in the China seas. The oil may be obtained by expression from the fresh flower-buds, but the usual method of procuring it is by distillation. Few essential oils have a more extensive use in perfumery; it combines well with grease, soap, and spirit, and forms a leading feature in some of the most popular handkerchief essences. For essence of cloves, dissolve oil of cloves in the proportion of two ounces of oil to one gallon of spirit.
