How To Make Imitation Eglantine or Sweet Briar
Imitation Eglantine or Sweet Briar does not find a place in the perfumer's "scent-room" except in name. This, like many other sweet-scented plants, does not repay the labor of collecting its odor.
The fragrant part of this plant is destroyed more or less under every treatment that it is put to, and hence it is discarded
However Eglantine can be made by imitating formula :
Spirituous extract of French rose pomatum = 1 pint.
Spirituous extract of cassie = 1/4 pint
Spirituous extract of fleur d'orange = 1/4 pint
Esprit de rose = 1/4 pint
Oil of neroli = 1/2 drachm.
Oil of lemon grass (verbena oil) = 1/2 drachm
