Take the following kinds of waters distilled on the bain marie. These are odorous waters such as rose water or water of orange flowers, of myrtle, trefoil, marjoram, basil, sweet balm or jasmine or other odorous waters such as are made of cakes of rose, cedar, lemon, honeysuckle or squash flowers. Of these kinds of waters you can make a mixture of 3 or 4 or 5 kinds put together, as will be described. Take 5 lb. of rose water, 1 lb. each of trefoil, lavender and basil waters, 2 lb. of water from tender laurel leaves, 2 ½ lb. of water from cedar, 1 ½ lb. of lemon water and 3 lb. each of waters of orange flowers and of myrtle. Put all these waters together in a vitreous or tin-plated vessel. Cover it well and leave it in the sun for 3 or 4 days. Then if you wish to make it perfect and good so that your reputation is spread around, add in these things written below, that is, 3 ounces of solid storax, 4 ounces of yellow sandalwood, 1 ounce of aloe wood, 5 ounces of benzoin gum, 2 ½ ounces of cinnamon sticks, 2 ounces of cardamon or grains of paradise and 3 nutmegs. Everything should be cut up and not well-ground and the cinnamon sticks should be entire. Put all these components in the water. Stopper it well and let it stay in the hot sun for at least a month or more until it is well compounded together. Otherwise you can boil it on a slow fire, well covered, for a half hour.
Then you can scent the water with musk in this way. Have a flask for 6 or 7 lb. and put therein 4 to 6 grains of musk finely ground with 2 or 3 drops of good oil or with 3 drops of brandy and with fine sugar. With this you can make 3 or 4 kinds of perfumes with ambergris, with civet and with camphor or with other odors as you or anyone wishes. When you have composed it, let it stay in the sun for 15 to 20 days, well covered, and you will have a very odorous and elegant essence to give to any noble, high-class, elegant person.
