Eastern Essence

• 3 oz patchouly extract
• 1 oz verbena extract

Mix together.

Coffee Flowers Extract

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.

Piesse's Pastils

• 1/2 lb. Willow charcoal 
• 6 oz. Benzoic acid
• 1/2 drachm Otto of thyme
• 1/2 drachm Otto of caraway
• 1/2 drachm Otto of rose
• 1/2 drachm Otto of lavender
• 1/2 drachm Otto of cloves
• 1/2 drachm Otto of santal

Prior to mixing, dissolve 3/4 oz. nitre in half a pint of distilled or ordinary rose water; with this solution thoroughly wet the charcoal, and then allow it to dry in a warm place.

When the thus nitrated charcoal is quite dry, pour over it the mixed ottos, and stir in the flowers of benzoin. When well mixed by sifting (the sieve is a better tool for mixing powders than the pestle and mortar), it is finally beaten up in a mortar, with enough mucilage to bind the whole together, and the less that is used the better.

Eau de Chypre Perfume

This is an old-fashioned French perfume, presumed to be derived from the Cyperus esculentus by some, and by others to be so named after the Island of Cyprus; the article sold, however, is made thus—

• 1 pint extract of musk
• 1/2 pint extract of ambergris
• 1/2 pint extract of vanilla
• 1/2 pint extract of tonka bean
• 1/2 pint extract of orris

The mixture thus formed is one of the most lasting odors that can be made.
