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

POMADE CALLED BEAR'S GREASE. The most popular and "original" bears' grease is made thus:-- Huile de rose, } " fleur d'orange, } " acacia, } of each, 1/2 lb. " tubereuse and jasmin,} Almond oil, 10 lbs. Lard, 12 lbs. Acacia pomade, 2 lbs. Otto of bergamot, 4 oz. " cloves, 2 oz. Melt the solid greases and oils together by a water-bath, then add the ottos. Bears' grease thus prepared is just hard enough to "set" in the pots at a summer heat. In very warm weather, or if required for exportation to the East or West Indies, it is necessary to use in part French pomatums instead of oils, or more lard and less almond oil.
