Sachet  Powders, 
The  French  and  English  perfumers  concoct  a  great  variety  of  these  sub- 
stances, which  being  put  into  silk  bags,  or  ornamental  envelopes,  find  a 
ready  sale,  being  both  good  to  smell,  and  economical  as  a  means  of  im- 
parting an  agreeable  odor  to  linen  and  clothes  as  they  lie  in  drawers.  The 
following  formula  shows  their  composition.  Every  material  is  either  to  be 
ground  in  a  mill,  or  powdered  in  a  mortar,  and  afterwards  sifted.

The  name  of  this  sachet  has  been  handed  down  to  us  as  being  derived 
from  a  Roman  of  the  noble  family  of  Frangipani.  Mutio  Frangipani  was 
an  alchemist,  evidently  of  some  repute,  as  we  have  another  article  called 
rosolis,  or  ros-solis,  sun-dew,  an  aromatic  spirituous  liquor,  used  as  a  sto- 
machic, of  which  he  is  said  to  be  the  inventor,  composed  of  wine,  in  which 
is  steeped  coriander,  fennel,  anise,  and  musk.

It  is  one  of  the  best  sachets  made,  and  is  so  perfectly  au  naturel  in  its 
odor  to  the  flower  from  which  it  derives  its  name,  that  no  person  unac- 
quainted with  its  composition  would,  for  an  instant,  believe  it  to  be  any 
other  than  the  "  real  thing."
