Make a strong decoction of aromatic leaves or flowers in a covered pan, strain well and use as the final rinse for hand-washed articles or add to the final rinse cycle of your washing machine. Use leaves of rosemary, lemon verbena, sweet myrtle, bergamot, sweet marjoram, angelica, bay, ale cost and eau-de-cologne mint or powdered root of roseroot or flowers of lavender, violets, pinks and roses. A ½ tsp (2.5 ml) of ores root dissolved in the decoction will fix the scent. The mixture can also be sprinkled on clothes before ironing. Alternatively, drops of an essential oil dissolved in a little pure alcohol (or vodka) can be added to the final rinse. Sweet waters can also be used to sprinkle around rooms or as a hair rinse to give it a subtle perfume.
