Below is an excerpt from a book
written in 1868:
Practical Guide for the
Perfumer - Being a new
treatise on perfumery the most favorable to beauty without being injurious to
the health.
Description of the substances used in perfumery, and the formulae of more than
one thousand preparations, such as cosmetics, perfumed oils, tooth powders,
waters, extracts, tinctures, infusions, spirits, vinegars, essential oils,
pastils, creams, soaps, and many new hygienic products not hitherto described.
"Odors impregnate all bodies in different degrees, and combine with nearly all the liquids. Gloves retain for a long time the perfume of ambergris; paper and cotton, that of musk. Oils and greases retain very well balsamic and volatile principles. Water, and especially alcohol, dissolve perfectly the aromatic principles of flowers. It is on this knowledge that is founded the fabrication of waters, oils, essences, pastes, pomades. Thus the perfume of flowers, so light, so fugacious, is rendered stable by art and industry. At the moment the perfume escapes from the flower, man seizes it, masters it, and uses it to increase the sum of his enjoyments."
Notes and documents of Messrs. Debay, Lunel, etc. with additions by Professor H. Dussauce, Chemist.
