Extract of Myrtle (Extrait de Myrte).

Owing to the small yield of essential oil furnished on distillation by the myrtle and the comparatively high price of the oil of myrtle, nearly all the extract of myrtle is prepared artificially, as follows:

Extract of jasmine, from pomade½ pint.
Extract of orange flower, from pomade1 qt.
Extract of rose, from pomade2 qts.
Extract of tuberose, from pomade1 qt.
Tincture of vanilla1 qt.

Extract of Narcissus.

In perfumery, two extracts of narcissus are distinguished—true extract of narcissus, from the flowers of the garden plant, Narcissus poeticus, and the so-called extract of jonquille, from Narcissus Jonquilla, which is cultivated in Southern France and whose odor is obtained by maceration. Genuine extract of narcissus is even more rarely obtainable than extract of jonquille; the odors of both are imitated, mainly according to the following prescriptions:

1. Extract of Narcissus (Extrait de Narcisse).

Extract of jonquille, from pomade2 qts.
Extract of tuberose, from pomade3 qts.
Tincture of storax½ pint.
Tincture of tolu½ pint.

2. Extract of Jonquille (Extrait de Jonquille).

Extract of jasmine, from pomade2 qts.
Extract of orange flower, from pomade1 qt.
Extract of tuberose, from pomade2 qts.
Tincture of vanilla½ pint.
