How To Make Violette des Bois

Violet des Bois

Under the head Violet, we have already explained the method of preparing the extract or essence of that modest flower.

The Parisian perfumers sell a mixture of violet, which is very beautiful, under the title of the Violet des Bois, or the Wood Violet, which is made thus:—

Extract of violet, 1 pint.

Extract of orris, 3 oz.

Extract of cassie, 3 oz.

Extract of rose (from pomade) 3 oz.

Otto of almonds, 3 drops.

This mixture, in a general way, gives more satisfaction to the customer than the pure violet.
