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—

  • 2 pints esprit de rose triple
  • 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.
