Section 70.

ON PERFUMERY.

The exquisite pleasure we enjoy from the smell of sweet flowers is alone sufficient to account for the love of perfumery. Flowers pass away so quickly that we naturally desire to preserve their sweetness as long as we can, and in this our perfumers succeed admirably. The perfume of most flowers depends upon an oil, which is peculiar to the plant, almost every sweet-scented plant having its own peculiar oil; and, what is of more importance: these oils belong to a class called essential or volatile, because they become volatile when heated.
