Spirits from grape, 1 pint.
French otto of lavender, 1 oz.
Extract of ambergris, 2 oz.
The original "lavender aux millefleurs" is that of Delcroix; its peculiar odor is due to the French otto of lavender, which, although some folks like it, is very inferior to the English otto of lavender; hence the formula first given is far superior to that by the inventor, and has almost superseded the original preparations.
There are several other compounds or bouquets of which lavender is the leading ingredient, and from which they take their name, such as lavender and ambergris, lavender and musk, lavender and marechale, &c., all of which are composed of fine spirituous essences of lavender, with about 15 per cent. of any of the other ingredients.
