Synopsis
The British Perfumer: Being A Collection Of Choice Receipts And Observations Made During An Extensive Practice Of Thirty Years, By Charles Lillie. This historical manual compiles Lillie’s three-decade practice into practical receipts for perfumery, snuffs, and colours, and includes detailed guidance on making spirits, starches, gums, essential oils, pomatums, hair powders, and wash-balls. Edited and expanded by Colin Mackenzie for an 1822 edition, the work preserves the author’s original methods while adding editor’s footnotes to clarify and update certain points. The volume also situates perfumery within its social milieu, recounting the fame of Lillie as a London perfumer at Beaufort Buildings and listing contemporaries who celebrated his craft. A practical encyclopedia, it furnishes step-by-step formulations, testing procedures for purity, preservation strategies, and warnings against adulteration, making it valuable for household chemists and small-scale practitioners seeking high-quality cosmetic articles.
