Decroix's Milleflower Lavender.

Spirits from grape,	1 pint.
French otto of lavender,	1 oz.

The original "lavender aux millefleurs" is that of Delcroix; its peculiar odor is due to the French otto of lavender, which, although some folks like it, is very inferior to the English otto of lavender; hence the formula first given is far superior to that by the inventor, and has almost superseded the original preparations.
