Extraits d'Odeurs, Quality II.—In addition to the fine extracts given in the preceding section, a small selection of quite cheap receipts for quality II of such extracts is here given, the extracts No. 2 offering sufficient material for their preparation. In the introduction to the previous section, attention has been called to the fact that quite useful tinctures may be prepared from substances leaving behind solid residues, there being also on hand the second extract from the flower pomades.
Besides the alcohol, such tinctures and extracts cost only the small trouble of treatment. For this second quality only half the quantity of volatile oils prescribed for the best quality is used. Such tinctures, from which a second extract cannot be had, may, for this purpose, be diluted one-half with alcohol, which need not be of the best quality, thus preparing a second quality of them.
The process to be followed is illustrated by a selection from the first Extrait receipts which have been converted into Extraits of quality II.
