Various Heliotrope Perfume Formulas

HELIOTROPE TYPE - Natural products occasionally offered but synthetics closely approximate the natural fragrance Heliotropin (piperonal) is the basic odor with flowering adjuvants of hydroxycitronellal, geraniol, methyl acetophenone, and benzyl acetate. 

Melilotus, honeysuckle and Marvel of Peru have an odor of, suggestive of, but distinct from heliotrope. Coumarin, the basis of sweet clover (melilot) and new mown hay compositions, and the honeysuckle note is obtained by of linalol, geraniol, hydroxycitronellal, vanillin acetate, with tuberose essence.


 

Heliotrope #1:
  • Ylang Ylang Oil 1/4 dr 
  • Benzyl Acetate 1 1/4 dr
  • Terpineol 5 dr
  • Heliotropin 5 1/2 dr

  • 4 oz orange flower
  • 12 oz jasmine

  • 12 oz tuberose
  • 6 drams esprit de rose
  • 6 drops almond oil

Heliotrope #3:

  • 1 dram musk xylene, 100%
  • 1 qt alcohol

  • Tincture or rose 8 ounces 
  • Tincture of jasmin 8 ounces 
  • Tincture of styrax 2 drams 
  • Tincture of vetiver 2 drams 
  • Tincture of coumarin 8 ounces

Mix and filter if necessary



Extrait d'Heliotrope:
  • Extract of jasmine from pomade 2 qts 
  • Extract of orange flowers 1 pint

  • 1 oz Spirituous extract of ambergris

A preparation made in this manner under the name of Extract de Heliotrope is that which is sold in the shops of Paris and London, and is really a very nice perfume, passing well with the public for a genuine extract of heliotrope.

  • 2 pints Extract of rose

  • 2 oz tincture of civet 
  • 2 oz tincture of ambergris

Heliotrope is not cultivated for its perfume, although very fine. This formula is an imitation, and I believe a very good one.



Eau de Heliotrope:

  • 1/2 ounce avoirdupois vanilla
  • 1/2 pin orange-flower water
  • 1 quart rectified spirit

Eau Spiritueuse d'Heliotrope
 Eau Spiritueuse d'Heliotrope. Vanilla 3 drs., double orange-flower water 6 oz., rectified spirit a quart; macerate for 3 days, and distil in a water-bath. It may be coloured with cochineal. But the essence d'heliotrope of some perfumers appears, by the colour, not to have been distilled.


Heliotrope:

  • heliotropin
  • bergamot
  • synthetic neroli
  • orris
  • Peru balsam
  • bitter almond
  • vanillin

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.
