The Hours Collection

Named for the hours prior to dawn light, a fruited blending that includes the aromatics: Neroli, Clove and Red Rose.

Originally cultivated in Ancient Persia, on the Caspian Sea, a highly scented flower was named simply for its deep crimson color, “Rodon,” which means red. From this Greek word we obtain the name ROSE by which we know it today.

The renaissance Princess Anna Maria of Nerola would direct her servants to launder her linens in waters fragrant with an aromatic most favored many centuries before in Empiric Rome. Introduced to the world from China the Bigarade Orange Tree was regaled not for its fruit, which was bitter, but for the pale green sweet oil distilled from its delicate white blossoms, it was named NEROLI.

Off the coast of East Africa, on the island of Zanzibar, the pretty pink flower heads of the Gillyflower Tree are harvested for the delicious spice they produce. Laid to dry, the sun shrinks and shrivels the buds to a dark brown or black until they resemble carpenters nails for which the spice CLOVE is named. For the Latin word for nail is “Clavus.”
