Perfumes made with Musk.

GRind upon a Marble Stone two Gros of Musk, with three Drops of Es∣sence of Flowers, as before, and being well mixt, let them lye on the corner of the Marble; then grind half a Gros of Civet, with a few Drops of the same Es∣sence, lay it on another corner of your Marble; then grind as big as a Nut Gum of Adragant dissolved with Millefleur-water, mixt with three or four Drops of Essence of Amber; after that mix them all together very well with the last Wa∣ter, dropping it gently; and when the whole is well mixt with the Water, put it in a Mortar, pouring more Water, and stirring it with the Pestle, till it is re∣duced to half a Pint; then rub your Gloves and Skins, and let them dry.
