Perfumes and their preparation

by George William Askinson

Forest Breeze (Pine-Needle Odor.)

Oil of turpentine	14 oz.
Oil of lavender	1½ oz.
Oil of lemon grass	¾ oz.
Alcohol	5 qts.

The oil of turpentine must be clear like water, and most carefully rectified. If it can be obtained of good quality, the oil distilled from the leaves or needles of Pinus sylvestris, commonly known as pine-needle oil or fir-wool oil, is to be preferred for this purpose. Still better is the oil obtained from Pinus Pumilio.
