Synopsis
The British Perfumer: Being A Collection Of Choice Receipts And Observations Made During An Extensive Practice Of Thirty Years, By Which Any Lady Or Gentleman May Prepare Their Own Articles Of The Best Quality, Whether Of Perfumery, Snuffs, Or Colours by Charles Lillie. This 1822 edition (Second Edition) edited by Colin Mackenzie presents a practical compendium of perfumery craft drawn from Lillie’s three decades of experience. It gathers detailed receipts and instructions across perfumes, waters, colours, snuffs, cosmetics, hair powders, washes, and related materials. Sections describe spirits of wine and malt spirits, starch production, various colorants, ambergris, civet, musk, and foreign essential oils, followed by chapters on perfumed foreign butters, pomatums, lip-salves, tooth-powders, and soaps. The Editor notes the historical decline of perfumery and aims to restore practical knowledge by clarifying formulations, authenticity tests, and preservation methods, while warning against adulterations and unsafe substances. The volume offers a window into Georgian and early Victorian trade, domestic science, and the artistry of scent, with recipes that reveal fragrance-making as both craft and commerce.
