Extract of orange flower, from pomade	2½ pints.
Extract of rose, from pomade	5 pints.
Tincture of vanilla	20 fl. oz.

The oil of clove which determines the characteristic odor of this extract is dissolved in a little alcohol; of this solution enough is gradually added to the mixture until the odor has become sufficiently strong.
