How To Make An Imitation Essence of Wallflower

Wallflower (Cherianthus).

Exquisite as is the odor of this flower, it is not used in perfumery,though no doubt it might be, and very successfully too, were the plant cultivated for that purpose.
To this flower we would direct particular attention, as one well adapted for experiments to obtain its odoriferous principle in this country, our climate being good for its production.
The mode for obtaining its odor has been indicated when we spoke of heliotrope.
And if it answers on the small scale, there is little doubt of success in the large way, and there is no fear but that the scent of the old English wallflower will meet with a demand.

An Imitation Essence of Wallflower can be compounded thus:

Extract fleur d'orange, 1 pint.
Extract fleur vanilla, 1/2 pint
Esprit de rose, 1 pint Extract of orris, 1/2 pint
Extract of cassie, 1/2 pint
Essential oil of almonds, 5 drops.

Allow this mixture to be made up for two or three weeks prior to putting it up.
