The skins are soaked for several hours in water, then turned inside out and placed over a mould. They spend the next three days drying in the sun before being removed from the mould and polished. Suitable for jewellery, paperclips etc. The box will last for decades and the scent will stay for at least 3 to 4 years. And after that, the scent is easy to be refreshed with the essence of an orange or a lemon. Gift from the German distributor.
