Tincture of Cedar (Extrait de Bois de Cèdre).

This is made by digesting finely rasped cedar wood with strong alcohol, namely:

Cedar wood chips6 lb.
Alcohol5 qts.

The result is a fragrant tincture with a beautiful deep red color which cannot be employed for handkerchief perfumes, but for many cosmetic preparations such as mouth washes and for scenting soap.
