The Charles De Beaune Story
The Lost Manuscript
Our hero is a XVth century aristocrat who used to help in the famous hospices of Beaune where he encountered many artists, painters and travelers who came from European port-cities.
Those visitors brought with them their own culture and their own encounters with foreign cultures, and Charles de Beaune had a special interest in the different perfumes they used to bring along with them.
In fact, Charles de Beaune became so passionate about the perfumes that it was said that he wrote a whole manuscript on the topic that was since known as:"The Lost Manuscript of Perfumes".
