The Hot Process

ID OSES orange blossoms, cassia, and Parma
N violets undergo the hot process" The fat
is melted, and they put to soak in it until it
grows cold. 1t is then placed in a hydraulic
press, and the dead flowers removed by sieves
The remaining fat holds the raw material used
for the manufacture of essence. These essences
have the property of vaporizing steam, al
though their boiling point is higher than water
Vaporzation, however, takes time, and the
flowers must remain for long while in the
great stills before they yield their perfume; for
their fragrance appears to be mechanically i'm
prisoned by the walls of cells or tissues.
When at last all the flowers essence is set
Free it must be kept in constant contact with
water; and it is only when the petals are thor
oughly penetrated by steam that the essence
is carried off. The stills consist of huge boiler
with a swans neck top. This carries steam
and vaporized essence to spiral tube, which
IN turn passes through vessel of cold water
In this tube condensation takes place, and
essence and water fall into another vessel
Here owing to difference of specific gravity
they separate of their own accord.
Thousands OF women are employed in
Grasses factories, well as in the great harvest
outside. They extract perfume from hello
trope and jasmine by absorption, and one may
see hundreds in long lines preparing sensitive
mimosa for treatment by UNDERGRADUATES
One of the forewomen told me that in the case
of jasmine she found that two pounds of fat
would entirely absorb the fragrance of six
pounds of flowers. The proportions of flowers
vary, however. Sometimes one pound of fat
will require ten pounds of rose petals, eight
pounds of orange blossoms, three pounds of
cassia-yellow, fluffy ball, exquisitely scented.
After the fat has been removed from the trays
it is mixed with alcohol, and readily gives up
the powerful essences it has coaxed from the
flowers intrusted to it.
Not all the harvest is brought to the fac
tories to be treated. In case, at least,
scent is extracted on the spot where the plant
grows. This IS especially the case with the
Mont Blanc lavender, so famous for its deli
cacy. 1t is found growing in immense guam
titles in the Maritime Alps that tower about
quaint old Grasse. That the sweet, old fash
toned stuff may not lose its fragrance in trans
portation to the valley, distillation takes place
in the mountains. A small army of peasants
go toiling up the rocky slopes, and return to
the great portable stills set up by the manu-
facturers carrying with them great armsful
of the fragrant plant

The Orange Blossom Harvest

MAY brings the orange blossom harvest. At
1N1 this season the atmosphere exhausts one
with enervating sweetness. Men and women,
eager boys and girls, all on piece work, fiutter
and chatter amid big, dark shining leaves.
And as they work the waXe1 blossoms fall like
fragrant snow into the big oser baskets
beneath July and August sees a heavy
crop ready for the distillery-scarlet gera-
MUM and mint, jasmine and tuberose, sweet
basil and lavender, hyssop and wild thyme,
organ, fennel, and wormwood, with a second
crop of balm mint. A few fragrant strag
glers linger into September and October, and
the garnering Of these ends Flora harvest.
The pickers are trained to the work. Re-
member, some flowers must be picked only at
certain hours of the day; and their caprice is
respected Thus pinks yield up their perfume
only when plucked after three hours, wooing
by the hot sun. Roses must be gathered as
soon as they open, and jasmine before sunrise.
The lovely harvest of Grasse varies from
year to year, but roughly l should fix it at one
thousand tons. Come into the receiving rooms
of one of the great factories and watch men
tossing mountains of violets with wooden pitch
forks. Their, is weight here. In single day the
stills of one house will eat up sixty thousand
pounds of roses and forty five thousand pounds
OF orange flowers. During last seasons harvest

11ERE, one would say, is llte 1deal1zed; IN the
III Metropolis of Flowers is something alCcf
from the hard realities of the world out
side; orange and lemon groves that stretch to
the su nit Mediterranean; sweet acres OF rose
and violet and lily, narcissus and hehotrope,
mignonette and marJoram, and thyme and
rose mary, with jasmine and scented geran1um;
tuberose and lavender and sweet basil, such as
Keats would have sung. Their fragrant ex-
panse5 creep up the smiling slopes of the Mari
time Aps-will soon creep to the worlds end
to perfume my lady.
In their midst is set Grasse, the City of
Flowers, where stated nostrils refuse their Of
fee; where men in May are overpowered by
orange blossoms, and fall unconscious from
their high orchard ladders. All Grasse is abroad
these DAYS; the women and girls in broad
brimmed bonnets, picking delicate jasmine
before dawn. They work hard, these peasants,
to whom blossoms are bread. And soon
Cologne will be asking for "neroli," essential
oil of oranges, at fifty dollars pound, in order
to supply her famous water to the world.
Climb the hill and look down on Flora's own
realm! The dark leaved oranges stretch far as
eyesight carries; and jasmine plots are ar
ranged in hedges on low banks like the gardens
of doll. Trim acres of stunted rose are broken
with dark patches, of violets and thin white
stalks of tuberose. And beyond view are pleas
ant gardens, each with its own heavy crop,
soon to be sold to the town great factories,
whose names and marques" are famous on
scent bottles from China to Peru. For the
whole country's harvest is flowers: spring
harvest, whose great prott goes to sophlStl-
catel men beyond those silent peaks, beyond
the Tideless Sea, a bare twelve miles away.
Only nine cents for each two and quarter
pounds of tender blossom, rising to thirty
cents for an equal quantity of rosa eentr10dd,
best for perfume.
And yet Grasse makes little essence of rose.
Her processes are so fine it takes almost hum
dred tons of sweet petals to make only four
and a half pounds of this precious stuff, In all,
Grasse makes perhaps one hundred pounds each
season, worth three hundred dollars to the
pound But Kazanlik, in Eastern Runelia,
turns out five thousand pounds of impure altar
every year; even this brings from seventy-hve to
one hundred dollars pound. The roses used
are pink single bud, not unlike the dogrose
of the English hedge. Grasse uses her roses
more for pomade and rose water, which last
costs only twelve cents quart. Compare this
with fluid altar at three hundred and sixty
dollars quartz

Gathering Narcissus During the Flower Harvest.

one ancient establishment dating back to 1918,
consumed three hundred and twenty tons of
roses, one hundred and eighty tons of orange
flowers, fifty tons of jasmine, sxty-five of vio-
lets, one hundred of mignonette, and two hun
dred and eighty tons of geraniums.
Only eight or ten out of the countless per-
fumes we buy are what they profess to be.
Wall flower and wood violet, white rose or
lilac, cherry blossom or new mown hay, are all
put up in triple extract" for dainty hand
kerchiefs; yet all are creations of the chemist.
The flowers really used in scent making are
jasmine, orange blossom, Parma violet, rose,
jonquil, cassia, and mignonette, and to a
smaller extent geranium leaves, lavender, and
thyme. All other perfumes judicious mix
lures of these essences with ilfusions.
Ole sees al entire countryside living upon
flowers And the blossoms received by these
tens of thousands of pickers are carried in
great bales from the reception rooms to the
distillery, near to the monstrous stills of bur-
nished copper whose big maws will swallow three
thousand pounds of fragrant, dewy blossoms
at one time Jasmine and tuberose scents are
extracted by the cold process" a layer Of
pigs fat is spread upon panes of glass, and the
sweet petals scattered on top. These petals
are removed every day and replaced by others,
until the fat is thoroughly impregnated with
perfume. 1t is then stored as a white pomade.
