These  pomatums  and  oils,  together  with  the  French  pomades  and  huiles 
already  described,  constitute  the  foundation  of  the  preparations  of  all  the 
"best  hair  greases  sold  by  perfumers.  Inferior  scented  pomatums  and  oils 
are  prepared  by  perfuming  lard,  suet,  wax,  oil,  &c,  with  various  ottos  ;  the 
results,  however,  in  many  instances  more  expensive  than  the  foregoing,  are 
actually  inferior  in  their  odor  or  bouquet — for  grease,  however  slightly 
perfumed  by  maceration  or  enfluerage  with  flowers,  is  far  more  agreeable 
to  the  olfactory  nerve  than  when  scented  by  ottos. 
The  undermentioned  greases  have  obtained  great  popularity,  mainly  be- 
cause their  perfume  is  lasting  and  flowery  :—

ottos. 
Bears'-grease  thus  prepared  is  just  hard  enough  to  "  set"  in  the  pots  at 
a  summer  heat.  In  very  warm  weather,  or  if  required  for  exportation  to 
the  East  or  West  Indies,  it  is  necessary  to  use  in  part  French  pomatums 
instead  of  oils,  or  more  lard  and  less  almond-oil.

continue  the  heat  until  all  flocks  disappear;  let  the  jars  into  which  it  is 
poured  be  warm  ;  cool  as  slowly  as  possible  to  ensure  good  crystals ;  if 
cooled  rapidly  the  mass  congeals  without  the  appearance  of  crystals.  This 
preparation  has  a  very  nice  appearance,  and  so  far  sells  well ;  but  its  con
