The monks live on a quiet hillside sanctuary where they are dedicated to prayer, song and study without interruption. To those outside the cloister walls, these men are a mystery. But that suits them well. Bergamot, lemon and mint cover the fields just beyond the only window that gives light to the library. Handmade incense of lavender, geranium, sage and clove fill the room. Rich cedar and balsam shelves house the collection of ancient books providing the perfect ambiance of pensive contemplation. It features notes of cloister walls, ancient manuscripts, sacred chants and Arabian myrrh. Monk's Library is a perfume.
Austin Press is a small batch perfumery from California.
AUSTIN PRESS MONK'S LIBRARY REVIEWS
Reddit: Rating: 4/5. I only got a small sample of this from Surrender to Chance because they ran out of stock, but wow, it’s really nice! It really is a very “monk-y” scent, a very nice and comforting incense-scent. It smells slightly bookish as well. I noticed throughout the day that this has a surprisingly good throw, more than most perfume oils I have tried so far. Decent longevity; fades after about 3-4 hours.There is a classic feeling to the scent, not too unconventional, but very nice. Makes me excited to try more scents from Austin Press.
