Lavender Water

Take a large bottle, and put in it twelve ounces of the best spirits of wine, one essence of ambergris, twopennyworth of musk, and three drachms of oil of lavender. Cork it tightly, put in a dark place, and shake it every day for a month. This is really lavender spirit, as no water is used.
