Ingredients
- twelve drops of genuine oil of rhodium on a lump of loaf-sugar
- two ounces of orris root powder
Directions
1
Drop twelve drops of genuine oil of rhodium on a lump of loaf-sugar. Then pound the sugar in a marble mortar with two ounces of orris root powder. This will afford an excellent imitation of the scent of violets. If you add more oil of rhodium, it will produce a rose perfume. Sew up the powder in little silk bags, or keep it in a tight box.
