VIOLETTE 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.
"          orris,                                3 oz.
"          cassie,                               3 oz.
"          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.

We have now completed the branch of the Art of Perfumery which relates to handkerchief perfumes, or wet perfumery.  Although we have rather too much encroached upon the space of this work in giving the composition of so many bouquets, yet there are many left unnoticed which are popular.  Those that are given are noted more particularly for the peculiar character of their odor, and are selected from more than a thousand recipes that have been practically tried.

Those readers who require to know anything about the simple extracts of flowers are referred to them under their respective alphabetical titles.

SECTION VII.

The previous articles have exclusively treated of Wet Perfumes; the present matter relates, to Dry Perfumes,—­sachet powders, tablets, pastilles, fumigation by the aid of heat of volatile odorous resins, &c. &c.  The perfumes used by the ancients were, undoubtedly, nothing more than the odoriferous gums which naturally exude from various trees and shrubs indigenous to the Eastern hemisphere:  that they were very extensively used and much valued, we have only to read the Scriptures
