About this book

Smell is called the least valued and least trained of the five senses in the preface to this 1857 Philadelphia edition, and the book sets out to remedy that. G. W. Septimus Piesse, an English perfumer, describes how the odors of plants are obtained from flowers and herbs, and gives instructions for making handkerchief perfumes, scented powders, aromatic vinegars, tooth powders, pomades, cosmetics and perfumed soap. An appendix covers the colors of flowers and artificial fruit essences. The preface regrets that little has been done in England to set up flower farms for perfumers.
