Tincture of Balsam of Peru (Extrait de Pérou).
| Peru balsam | 10½ oz. |
| Alcohol | 5 qts. |
This tincture, though of a very pleasant odor, can be used only for scenting soap or sachets, as it has a very dark brown color; by distilling alcohol over Peru balsam a colorless extract is obtained, though of a fainter odor.
