The Book of Hours suite is composed by three perfumes that take references from the medieval Paleography studies carried out by Ricardo Ramos with Stanford University / USA.This is an olfactory journey through medieval monastic activities, with an aim of capturing their intriguing mysticism, from the intimate erudite atmosphere of the scriptoriums , spinning around the olfactory references of cobblestone courtyards and gardens in cloisters and abbeys, detaching the mystical concept from liturgical aspects and the use of incense, to represent the human and material side of this environment fully charged with spirituality.This suite revolves around the calfskin parchment (Vellum eau de Parfum) and the ink (Iron Gall eau de Parfum) used by the monks to make the Illuminated Manuscripts, as well as the classic Rosaries made with rose petal paste by monks and nuns up to date (Rosary Eau de Parfum). The perfumes in the Book of Hours suite are 20% concentration, and their formulations are made with 85% natural raw materials.Vellum Eau de ParfumTop notes: Juniper Spirits, Suede, Cipress, Yuzu.Middle Notes: Ginger, Verbena, Hyacinth, Human Sweat.Base Notes: Saffron, Cedar, Sandalwood, Leather, Musk.
