All Flower Water c1779

Source: The Toilet of Flora. c1779




Pour into a large vessel:
  • 5 quarts of strong Spirit of Wine, and infuse in it the following Flowers, as they come in season: 
  • 1/4 pound Violets
  • 1/4 pound Hyacinths
  • 1/4 pound Wall Flowers 
  • 2 ounces single Jonquils
  • 2 ounces double Jonquils
  • 1/4 pound of Lilies of the Valley 
  • 1/4 pound Spanish Jasmine 
  • 1/2 ounce of Rosemary Flowers 
  • 1 ounce of Elder Flowers 
  • 2 ounces of Wild Roses, bruised
  • 2 ounces of Damask, bruised
  • 2 ounces of White Roses, bruised; 
  • 3 ounces of Orange Flowers 
  • 1/4 pound of Clove-July-flowers,
  • 1/4 pound Syringo Blossoms (seringa = mock orange blossom) 
  • 1/4 pound Tuberoses
  • 1/4 pound Tops of Mint in Flower
  • 30 drops of Quintessence of Musk-seed
The latter, however, need not be added till the time of distillation, which must not be till three days after the last Flowers have been in- fused. Perform the operation in a water bath, and having carefully luted the head and receiver, which mutt be placed in a tub of cold water, to preserve the scent, draw off about three quarts and a pint with a moderate fire, then change the receiver, fix on another, and draw off another pint, which, though of an inferior quality, is well worth preserving.

Spring Nosegay Perfume

A Curious Water, known by the name of Spring Nosegay. Take:
  • 6 ounces of Hyacinths 
  • 1/2 pound of picked Violets
  • 1/4 pound of Wall Flowers 
  • 1/4 pound Jonquils 
  • 1 ounce of Florentine Orris, bruised 
  • 1/2 ounce of Mace, grossly powdered
  • 2 ounces of Quintessence of Orange

Put the whole (the Jonquils, Wall Flowers, and Lilies of the Valley excepted) around the sixth of March into a glass body, with a gallon of strong Spirit of Wine; bruise the Hyacinths, Violets, Orris, and Mace; and towards the end of April, add the Jonquils, when in their perfection, that is to say, when full blown.

A few days after, put in the Wall Flowers, the Petals only; then add the Lilies of the Valley, carefully picked, and shake all the ingredients well. Eight days after having put in this last Flower, empty the infusion into an alembic, lute on a head and receiver, which mull: be placed in cold water, and distill in a water bath, with a gentle fire. From the above quantity three quarts of excellent Spirit may be drawn off, that justly deserves the appellation of the Spring Nosegay.
