Nearly all the tulip tribe, although beautiful to the eye, are inodorous. The variety called the Duc Van Thol, however, yields an exquisite perfume, but it is not used by the manufacturer for the purpose of extracting its odor. He, however, borrows its poetical name, and makes an excellent imitation thus:
- 1 pint Extract of tubereuse
- 1 pint Extract of violet
- 1/2 pint Extract of rose
- 3 oz Extract of orris
- 3 drops Otto of almonds
