“For a hearty water, all kinds of fragrant flowers…” – 18th-century gardens and the process of making perfumes in the light of written sources

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article are 18th-century methods of making perfumes in the context of garden layouts of that time. The plants grown there were often used not only for cooking and in medicine, but also to produce broadly understood cosmetics. Modern botanical treatises, guides and other written sources referring to the farming practices of that time were analyzed. The method of growing and using plants in the production of scented waters and various types of perfumed products seems particularly interesting. This comparison aims to show and compare the recipes used at that time – both in terms of the process itself and the ingredients used.
