| Vanilla, sliced | ½ lb. |
| Alcohol | 5 qts. |
Extract of Violet (Extrait de Violette).
| Violet pomade | 6-7 lb. |
| Extract of cassie | 6½ fl. oz. |
| Alcohol | 5 qts. |
This extract is very expensive; a good imitation is made as follows:
| Extract of cassie, from pomade | 2 qts. |
| Extract of rose, from pomade | 1 qt. |
| Extract of tuberose, from pomade | 1 qt. |
| Tincture of orris root | 1 qt. |
| Oil of bitter almond | 15 grains. |
Tincture of Orris Root (Extrait d’Iris).
| Orris root, powdered | 6-7 lb. |
| Alcohol | 5 qts. |
This tincture is sold as a very cheap violet perfume, but it has also considerable value to perfumery in general, owing to its fixing power.
Extract of Verbena (Extrait de Verveine).
True oil of verbena is rather expensive. Hence artificial compositions are employed under the name of verbena which resemble the true odor, though not exactly like it.
