Take of
Oil of bergamot… 1 fluid drachm
Oil of orange… 1 fluid drachm
Oil of rosemary… 1 fluid drachm
Neroli (or petitgrain)… ½ fluid drachm
Rectified spirit… 1 pint
Mix. Very excellent
For reference, 1 fluid drachm is approximately 0.125 fluid ounces. "Rectified spirit" refers to perfumer's alcohol. I have not personally tried this perfume, but the blend of citrus fruits and flower in addition to the rosemary sound as though it would be fresh and uplifting. Please let me know if and when you try it!
