Also known as Fleurs du Cafeyer d'Arabie.
- 1 oz cassie essence
- 1 oz tuberose essence
- 1 oz rose spirit
- fifty grains of freshly roasted coffee (bruised)
- 2 oz deodorized alcohol
Digest the coffee with the alcohol for two days, filter, adding sufficient alcohol to make the resulting tincture measure two fluid ounces; then add to it the other ingredients.
Coffee flowers give excellent perfume reminiscent of jasmine, cassia and mimosa. The resemblance between name and odor is probably as imaginary here as in the case above. The extract is peculiar, but, save as a novelty, received but little attention.
