4. d) the macerated liquid is filtered;
5. e) the filtered liquid is distilled, in a glass alembic, into a first container;
6. f) after having evaporated 90% of the filtered liquid, the distillation is interrupted in order to collect the few ml of filtered liquid that remain at the bottom of the still, separately, in a second container;
7. g) the few ml of macerated material collected from the bottom of the still are filtered;
8. h) the first container holding the distilled liquid is covered with a cotton cloth, or in alternative with cotton, for a few days, until the odour of the distilled product in contact with oxygen softens and improves;
9. i) the distilled product is filtered.
10. j) finally the filtered distilled product is united with the second part of the separately collected filtered, macerated material.
• The result of the process carried out with the present invention is a perfume unique for each type of book.
• Furthermore, in the distilling of the filtered macerated material the first part is discarded and the second part is collected instead, that is the "heart" of the distilled product.
• Moreover, the heart of the filtered, distilled product is united with the second part of the filtered, macerated liquid collected separately.
• The discovery, it should be noted, is not limited to the description given, but may be perfected and modified by men skilled in the art without, however, exceeding the limits of patent.
• The present invention allows numerous advantages and to overcome difficulties that could not be overcome with the systems on sale at present.
