  • 90 per cent spirit 1,000 ozs 
  • Bergamot oil 6 oz 
  • Lemon oil 15 oz 
  • Rosemary oil 1 oz 
  • Lavender oil 2 1/2 oz

Eau de Cologne (La Deuxieme Qualite)
6 gallons Spirit (from corn)
2 oz Otto of orange peel
2 oz Otto of lemon peel
2 oz Otto of neroli, Petitgain
2 oz Otto of neroli, Petale
2 oz Otto of rosemary
2 oz Otto of bergamot peel
Mix with agitation; then allow it to stand for a few days perfectly quiet, before bottling.

A great many forms for the manufacture of Eau de Cologne have been published, the authors of some of the recipes evidently having no knowledge, in a practical sense, of what they were putting by theory on paper; other venturers, to show their lore, have searched out all the aromatics of Lindley's Botany, and would persuade us to use absinthe, hyssop, anise, juniper, marjoram, caraway, fennel, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, serpolet, angelica, cloves, lavender, camphor, balm, peppermint, galanga, lemon thyme,etc



Durokereau's Eau de Cologne
To 7 quarts French tasteless alcohol, add:

  • 11 drachms essence of Portugal
  • 13 drachms essence of bergamot
  • 1 ounce essence of lemon
  • 10 drachms essence of neroli
  • 1 ounce essence of rosemary
  • 1 ounce essence of lavender
  • 14 drachms rose water
  • 13 drachms jasmin water
  • 15 drachms orange-flower water

Mix the whole together, let it stand 24 hours, and distill over a water-bath.



Piesse's Best Quality Cologne
Mix with agitation:

  • 3 ounces attar of neroli petals;
  • 1 ounce attar of neroli bigarade
  • 2 ounces attar of rosemary
  • 5 ounces attar of orange zest
  • 5 ounces attar of citron zest
  • 2 ounces attar of bergamot
  •  6 gallons 95 per cent, grape spirit

Let it stand perfectly quiet for a few days. Although very fine eau de Cologne is often made by merely mixing the ingredients, it is better first to mix all the citrine attars with spirit, then distill the mixture, and afterwards add the rosemary and nerolies. This method is adopted by the most popular house in Cologne.


Goufife's Eau de Cologne
  • 1/2 ounce each essence of lemon
  • 1/2 ounce each essence of  bergamot
  • 1/2 ounce each essence of and citron
  • 4 ounce essence of rosemary
  • 1/8 ounce essence of neroli

 Infuse for 8 days in 1 quart 95 per cent, alcohol. Filter, and bottle for use.


Cologne Essence

Oil of bergamot 2 drs., essence of lemon 1/2 dr., essence of cedrat 1/2 dr., true oil of rosemary 15 drops, rectified spirit (or spirit of balm) 1 1/2 oz.


Essence of Cologne; Cologne-Essence ; Concentrated Eau de Cologne. 

This is prepared from the same odorous ingredients as " Eau de Cologne," but taking 7 or 8 times the quantity, and using alcohol or the strongest rectified spirit, without which a permanent solution of the whole of them cannot be formed. Used as a condensed and convenient substitute for ordinary "Eau de Cologne " by travelers, being less bulky. It is also kept in stock by druggists and perfumers, to enable them to prepare that article extemporaneously, by simply diluting it with 8 times its bulk of spirit of the appropriate strength.


Ordinary Cologne
Take 10 qts alcohol at 85° and mix with the following:


  • 2 oz essence of lemon
  • 10 drams essence of rosemary
  • 5 drams essence of lavender
  • 1 1/4 drams essence of neroli
  • 1 1/4 drams tincture of benzoin
  • 1/2 dram essence of thyme
  • 1/2 dram essence of clove
  • 1/4 dram essence of peppermint
  • 2 lbs. rosewater

Illyris Perfume c1900

  • 30 fluid ozs tincture of heliotropine 
  • 6 fluid ozs opoponax perfume 
  • 1/2 fluid dr extract of ambergris 

Method: Mix and tinge with heliotropine color. The simple extracts enumerated had better be bought in bulk, though it would be cheaper to produce the tinctures where synthetic substances are named.

When desired, the perfumes may be diluted with distilled water, but too much must not be added, or cloudiness will ensue.

For the coloring a small quantity of the required aniline is dissolved in spirit, and kept in a bottle as required for use. This is added to the perfume drop by drop.

Taken from: American Journal Soap and Manufacturing Chemist, c1900.
