What is The Ladies Compendium?

Here you will find: The Method Of Obtaining The Odors Of Plants, Instructions For The Manufacture Of Perfumes, Colognes, Scented Powders, Dentifrices, Pomatums, Facial Lotions, Cosmetics, Perfumed Soaps, Lip Balms, Sachets, Emulsions, Cold Cream, Face Creams, Hair Dyes, Potpourri, Toilet Waters, Depilatories, Scented Vinegars, Absorbent Powders, Oils, Mouth Washes, Hair Washes, Smelling Salts, Etc., culled from antique books on perfumery, cookery, pharmacopoeia, and ladies magazines, from antiquity to the Edwardian era.

Buying and selling recreated antique recipe cosmetics and/or perfumes may appeal to those who participate in historical reenactments, Renaissance faires, historical homes/ museums/societies, antique shops, craft fairs, or living history museums. Create a niche brand with artisanal products.

A Word of Caution

Disclaimer: If you plan on recreating any of the recipes, please exercise extreme caution. The only recipes I advise to recreate are those for perfumes, colognes, toilet waters, sachets, some face creams, pomade and potpourris.

Some other recipes may contain dangerous substances and are for reference and entertainment purposes only. Do not in any circumstances attempt to create any recipes that contain mercury, bismuth, lead or any other heavy metals or poisons. Please do your own research on any substances before attempting any recreations.

"A painted face is enough to destroy the Reputation of her that uses it."
