The Art of Perfumery, and Methods of Obtaining the Odors of Plants

HELIOTROPE SACHET. Powdered orris, 2 lbs. Rose leaves, ground, 1 lb. Tonquin beans, ground, 1/2 lb. Vanilla beans, 1/4 lb. Grain musk, 1/4 oz. Otto of almonds, 5 drops. Well mixed by sifting in a coarse sieve, it is fit for sale. It is one of the best sachets made, and is so perfectly au naturel in its odor to the flower from which it derives its name, that no person unacquainted with its composition would, for an instant, believe it to be any other than the "real thing." LAVENDER SACHET. Lavender flowers, ground, 1 lb. Gum benzoin, in powder, 1/4 lb. Otto of lavender, 1/4 oz.
