Perfume From Poison

No fewer than 142 different prod
ucts are extracted from coal tar,
and among them is perfume. 1t
may not be known to most people
that synthetic perfumes are dis
titled from substances which pos
sess some of the most disagreeable
odors known. Civet and valerian,
for instance, are added to the high
er-grade scents to impart the "life"
and "tenacity' which make them
so superior. Synthetic perfume of
violets is made from phosgene, a
deadly gas, and castor oil, which
possesses a disagreeable odor.
Technically, says Answers Maya
zine, it is known as "methyl heptin
carbonate" and is so powerful that
a Whit from a full bottle deafens
and kills all sense of smell for
hours 1t has to be diluted until
the correc, perfume is obtained.
