PERFUMERY SECRETS.
Scent of Flowers Caught in Fat and
Transferred to Alcohol.

The details of the perfumery business
, are described in the Birmingham Daily
Post. The fluid substance Of which a
bottle of frst-class scent consists is not
water, but highly rectifed spirits Of
wine, impregnated with the desired odor;
but the infusion of fragrant flowers IN
spirits of wine would fail to produce the
desired result. An intermediate process
is requisite and that consists IN en-
claiming the subtle perfume Of the flow
ers by means of fat. for which they nave
n very strong affinity, whereas spirits is
simply q solvent. Some flowers are mac
Grated In fat, while others are Simply
brought into close juxtaposltlon TO
grease-covered screens, with the result
that the fat becomes heavily charged
with perfume. and will yield 1t afterward
to the spirits of wine. The hrst task OF
the manufacturer, unless this work Is
done for him by an intermediary, Is TO
derive from the pomades what is called
simple extract" In Birmingham the
pOmade, worth from . shillings pence
to shillings pound, is first opened out
INTO hlaments by squeeZer, ana Is
then placed in a churn containing some
twenty gallons of spirits. The heaters OF
the churn are kept rotating by ma.
chinery for about week, at the end OF
which time the spirits is drawn off and Is
flowers in an intense degree. The spirit
is afterward frozen to facilitate the re
mOval of n certain residue OF fat, and
after this it forms a perfectly clear ana
limpid simple extract" and is placed
upon the laboratory shelf.
It is In the laboratory that the mate
rails are diluted and blended into articles
for the toilet. 1t is here where the re,
ceipt book, and still more a cultivated
appreciation of odor. comes into play.
Scents are placed upon the market bear
ing the names of most Of the Od0rlferous
flowers known. Few only of these are

they are called. The vast majority are
