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.

Tulip Nosegay Perfume

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

Delcroix's Millefleurs et Lavande Bouquet:

  • 1 pint Spirits from grape
  • 2 oz Extract of ambergris
  • 1 oz French otto of lavender

The original "lavender aux millefleurs" is that of Delcroix; its peculiar odor is due to the French otto of lavender, which, although some folks like it, is very inferior to the English otto of lavender; hence the formula first given is far superior to that by the inventor, and has almost superseded the original preparations.

There are several other compounds or bouquets of which lavender is the leading ingredient, and from which they take their name, such as lavender and ambergris, lavender and musk, lavender and maréchale, &c., all of which are composed of fine spirituous essences of lavender, with about 15 per cent. of any of the other ingredients.

Various Civet Formulas

Extract of Civet is prepared by rubbing in a mortar one ounce of civet with an ounce of orris-root powder, or any other similar material that will assist to break up or divide the civet; and then placing the whole into a gallon of rectified spirits; after macerating for a month, it is fit to strain off.

It is principally used as a "fixing" ingredient, in mixing essences of delicate odor.

The French perfumers use the extract of civet more than English manufacturers, who seem to prefer extract of musk. From a quarter of a pint to half a pint is the utmost that ought to be mixed with a gallon of any other perfume.





Essence of Civet:

Take:

  • 1 ounce civet cut very small
  • 1 pint rectified spirit

Proceed as for essence of ambergris or musk. Its odor is only agreeable when faint and combined with that of other substances, which it sustains and increases. It is hence seldom or never used alone.
