Extraction with hot fat (Maceration) ... The flowers are extracted by immersion in hot fat. In other words, the same batch of hot fat is systematically treated with several batches of fresh flowers until the fat becomes quite saturated with flower perfume. The exhausted flowers are removed and the fragrant fat, called Pomade d'Orange, Pomade de Rose, etc., is sold as such, or the pomade may be treated further by washing it with strong alcohol....

L'extraction par dissolution au moyen de graisse fondue (graisse de porc) se pratique sur les fleurs dans lesquelles le parfum cesse de s'élaborer dès la cueillette. Ce procédé est dit «macération»; [...] les essences sont séparées de la graisse par dissolution dans l'alcool. Pour avoir l'essence pure, on évapore l'alcool.
