Examples

“[…] he thought the odora canum vis—if the passage may be construed—“the agreeable smell⟳ of a dog-kennel” superior to any of the esprits sold and professed to be manufactured by Delcroix, or any other eminent scent-maker.”

“[…] she recommends the scentmaker to put⟳ each kind of scent up in ounce bottles and label⟳ it twenty shillings.”

“We would arrive⟳ and go through the civilities a scentmaker expects, sniffing the latest oil he was compounding, pronouncing it too heavy or too light⟳ or too musky, or sometimes, to keep⟳ him sweet, praising and buying.”
