The undermentioned greases have obtained great popularity, mainly because their perfume is lasting and flowery.

POMADE CALLED BEAR’S GREASE.

The most popular and “original” bears’ grease is made thus:—­

Huile de rose,                }
"        fleur d’orange,      }
"        acacia,              } of each,       1/2 lb.
"        tubereuse and jasmin,}
Almond oil,                                    10 lbs. 
Lard,                                          12 lbs. 
Acacia pomade,                                  2 lbs. 
Otto of bergamot,                                4 oz.
"       cloves,                                  2 oz.

Melt the solid greases and oils together by a water-bath, then add the ottos.

Bears’ grease thus prepared is just hard enough to “set” in the pots at a summer heat.  In very warm weather, or if required for exportation to the East or West Indies, it is necessary to use in part French pomatums instead of oils, or more lard and less almond oil.

CIRCASSIAN CREAM.

Purified lard, 1 lb. 
Benzoin suet, 1 lb. 
French rose pomatum, 1/2 lb. 
Almond oil, colored with alkanet, 2 lbs. 
Otto of rose, 1/4 oz.

BALSAM OF FLOWERS.

French rose pomatum, 12 oz.
" violet pomatum, 12 oz. 
Almond oil, 2 lbs. 
Otto of bergamot, 1/4 oz.

CRYSTALLIZED OIL. (First quality).

Huile de rose,                  1 lb.
"        tubereuse,             1 lb.
"        fleur d’orange,      1/2 lb. 
Spermaceti,                     8 oz.

CRYSTALLIZED OIL. (Second quality.)

Almond, 2-1/2 lbs. 
Spermaceti, 1/2 lb. 
Otto of lemon, 3 oz.

Melt the spermaceti in a vessel heated by a water-bath, then add the oils; continue the heat until all flocks disappear; let the jars into which it is poured be warm; cool as slowly as possible, to insure good crystals; if cooled rapidly, the mass congeals without the appearance of crystals.  This preparation has a very nice appearance, and so far sells well; but its continued use for anointing the hair renders the head scurfy; indeed, the crystals of sperm may be combed out of the hair in flakes after it has been used a week or two.
