An innovation in the way of perfume
business is an urn of old porcelain set
in gilt bronze The lid is perforated
and within is a glass vessel with a
wick, wherein may be burned simple
perfume or a liquid ozone. These
burners are decorative, even in the
most elaborate drawing-rooms.
It has become something of a fad
to choose one perfume and dellcately
scent the entire house with it. but it is
obvious that such a scent would need
to be most delicate and unobtrusive.
