Lavender Water — Digital Recipe PDF

Explore the art of a scented handkerchief with Lavender Water, an 8-page digital recipe booklet from Stillroom Co. This small-batch alcohol-based fragrance brings together lavender essential oil and rosewater in a modern adaptation of a receipt published in G. W. Septimus Piesse's The Art of Perfumery in 1857. Learn the materials as well as the method. The booklet explains how alcoholic lavender water differs from a hydrosol or herbal infusion, why botanical names matter when choosing lavender, and why weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. Historical context, practical blending instructions, and space for sensory observations make this a thoughtful introduction to heritage fragrance making.
