Illyris Perfume c1900

  • 30 fluid ozs tincture of heliotropine 
  • 6 fluid ozs opoponax perfume 
  • 1/2 fluid dr extract of ambergris 

Method: Mix and tinge with heliotropine color. The simple extracts enumerated had better be bought in bulk, though it would be cheaper to produce the tinctures where synthetic substances are named.

When desired, the perfumes may be diluted with distilled water, but too much must not be added, or cloudiness will ensue.

For the coloring a small quantity of the required aniline is dissolved in spirit, and kept in a bottle as required for use. This is added to the perfume drop by drop.

Taken from: American Journal Soap and Manufacturing Chemist, c1900.
