A celebrated odoriferous liqueur: the following is the true mode of preparing it. Take of the essence of bergamot, lemon peel, lavender, and orange flower, of each 1 ounce; essence of cinnamon, half an ounce; spirit of rosemary, and of the spirituous water of melisse, each 15 ounces; strong alcohol, 7 1/2 pints. Mix the whole together, and let the mixture stand for the space of a fortnight; after which introduce it into a glass retort, the body of which is immersed in boiling water, contained in a vessel placed over a lamp, while the beak is introduced into a large glass reservoir well luted. By keeping the water to the boiling point, the mixture in the retort will distill over into the reservoir, which should be covered with wet cloths. In this manner will be obtained pure eau-de-Cologne.
