COMMON VIOLET POMATUM.
Purified lard, 1 lb.
_Washed_ acacia pomatum, 6 oz.
" rose pomatum, 4 oz.
Manipulate as for marrow pomatum.
In all the cheap preparations for the hair, the manufacturing perfumers
used the washed French pomatums and the washed French oils for making
their greases. Washed pomatums and washed oils are those greases that
originally have been the best pomatums and huiles prepared by enfleurage
and by maceration with the flowers; which pomades and huiles have been
subject to digestion in alcohol for the manufacture of essences for the
handkerchief. After the spirit has been on the pomatums, &c., it is
poured off; the residue is then called _washed_ pomatum, and still
retain an odor strong enough for the manufacture of most hair greases.
For pomatums of other odors it is only necessary to substitute rose,
jasmine, tubereuse, and others, in place of the acacia pomatum in the
above formul�.
POMADE DOUBLE, MILLEFLEURS.
Rose, jasmine, fleur d'orange, violet, tubereuse, &c., are all made in
winter, with two-thirds best French pomatum, one-third best French oils;
in summer, equal parts.
POMADE A LA HELIOTROPE.
French rose pomade, 1 lb.
Vanilla oil, 1/2 lb.
Huile de jasmine, 4 oz.
" tubereuse, 2 oz.
" fleur d'orange, 2 oz.
Otto of almonds, 6 drops.
" cloves, 3 drops.
HUILE ANTIQUE. (_A la Heliotrope_.)
Same as the above, substituting rose oil for the pomade.
PHILOCOME.
The name of this preparation, which is a compound of Greek and Latin,
signifying "a friend to the hair," was first introduced by the Parisian
perfumers; and a very good name it is, for Philocome is undoubtedly one
of the best unguents for the hair that is made.
PHILOCOME. (_First quality_.)
White wax, 10 oz.
Fresh rose-oil, 1 lb.
" acacia oil, 1/2 lb.
" jasmine oil, 1/2 lb.
" fleur d'orange oil, 1 lb.
" tubereuse oil, 1 lb.
Melt the wax in the huiles by a water-bath, at the lowest possible
temperature. Stir the mixture as it cools; do not pour out the Philocome
until it is nearly cool enough to set; let the jars, bottles, or pots
into which it is filled for sale be slightly warmed, or at least of the
same temperature as the Philocome, otherwise the bottles chill the
material as it is poured in, and make it appear of an uneven texture.
PHILOCOME. (_Second quality_.)
White wax, 5 oz.
Almond oil, 2 lbs.
Otto of bergamot, 1 oz.
" lemon, 1/2 oz.
" lavender, 2 drachms.
