Otto of Rose Soap

• 4-1/2 lbs. Curd soap (previously colored with vermilion) 
• 1 oz. Otto of rose
• 2 oz.Spirituous extract of musk 
• 1/4 oz. Otto of santal 
• 1/4 oz. Otto of geranium 

Mix the perfumes, stir them in the soap shavings, and beat together.

Honey Soap

• 100 lbs Best yellow soap
• 14 lbs. Fig soft soap 
• 1-1/2 lb. Otto of citronella

Camphor Soap

• 28 lbs. Curd soap 
• 1-1/4 lb. Otto of rosemary 
• 1-1/4 lb.Otto of Camphor 

Reduce the camphor to powder by rubbing it in a mortar with the addition of an ounce or more of almond oil, then sift it. When the soap is melted and ready to turn out, add the camphor and rosemary, using the crutch for mixing.

Almond Soap

This soap, by some persons "supposed" to be made of "sweet almond oil,"
and by others to be a mystic combination of sweet and bitter almonds, is
in reality constituted thus:--

• 100 lbs.Finest curd soap
• 14 lbs. Finest oil soap
• 14 lbs Finest marine soap
• 1-1/2 lb. Otto of almonds
• 1/4 lb. Otto of cloves
• 1/2 lb. Otto of caraway

By the time that half the curd soap is melted, the marine soap is to be added; when this is well crutched, then add the oil soap, and finish with the remaining curd. When the whole is well melted, and just before turning it into the frame, crutch in the mixed perfume.

Some of the soap "houses" endeavored to use Mirabane or artificial essence of almonds (see ALMOND) for perfuming soap, it being far cheaper than the true otto of almonds; but the application has proved so unsatisfactory in practice, that it has been abandoned by Messrs. Gibbs, Pineau (of Paris), Gosnell, and others who used it.

Palm Soap

Cut thin two pounds of yellow soap into a double sauce-  pan, occasionally stirring it till it is melted, which will  be in a few minutes if the water is kept boiling around  it.
Then add:

• quarter of a pound of palm oil
• quarter of a pound of honey
• three pennyworth of true oil of cinnamon

Let all boil together another six or eight  minutes ; pour out and stand it by till next day; it is  then fit for immediate use. If made as these directions  it will be found to be a very superior soap.
