How To Make Essence of Volkameria

Volkmeria
An exquisite perfume is sold under this name, presumed, of course, to be derived from the Volkameria inermis (Lindley).
Whether it has a smell resembling the flower of that plant, or whether the plant blooms at all, we are unable to say.
It is a native of India, and seems to be little known even in the botanic gardens of this country; however, the plant has a name, and that's enough for the versatile Parisian perfumer, and if the mixture he makes "takes" with the fashionable world—the plant which christens it has a fine perfume for a certainty!
