ACHET. Patchouly herb, ground, 1 lb. Otto of patchouly, 1/4 drachm. Patchouly herb is often sold in its natural state, as imported, tied up in bundles of half a pound each. POT POURRI. This is a mixture of dried flowers and spices _not_ ground. Dried lavender, 1 lb. Whole rose-leaves, 1 lb. Crushed orris (coarse), 1/2 lb. Broken cloves, } " cinnamon, } each, 2 oz. " allspice, } Table salt, 1 lb. We need scarcely observe that the salt is only used to increase the bulk and weight of the product, in order to sell it cheap. OLLA PODRIDA. This is a similar preparation to pot pourri. No regular form can be given for it, as it is generally made, or "knocked up," with the refuse and spent materials derived from other processes in the manufacture of perfumery; such as the spent vanilla after the manufacture of tincture or extract of vanilla, or of the grain musk from the extract of musk, orris from the tincture, tonquin beans, after tincturation, &c. &c., mixed up with rose-leaves, lavender, or any odoriferous herbs. ROSE SACHET. Rose heels or leaves, 1 lb. Santal-wood, ground, 1/2 lb. Otto of roses, 1/4 oz. SANTAL-WOOD SACHET. This is a good and economical sachet, and simply consists of the ground wood. Santal-wood is to be purchased from some of the wholesale drysalters; the drug-grinders are the people to reduce it to powder for you--any attempt to do so at home will be found unavailable, on account of its toughness. SACHET (_without a name_). Dried thyme, } " lemon thyme, } of each, 1/4 lb. " mint, } " marjoram, } " lavender, 1/2 lb. " rose heels, 1 lb. Ground cloves, 2 oz. Allspice, 2 oz. Musk in grain, 1 drachm. VERVAIN SACHET. Lemon-peel, dried and ground, 1 lb. " thyme, 1/4 lb. Otto of lemon-grass, 1 drachm. " " peel, 1/2 oz. " bergamot, 1 oz. VITIVERT SACHET. The fibrous roots of the _Anthoxanthum muricatum_ being ground, constitute the sachet, bearing the name as above, derived from the Tamool name, _vittie vayer_, and by the Parisian _vetiver_. Its odor resembles myrrh. Vitivert is more often
