A cycle of jewellery items filled with three aromatic substances: garden sage, clary sage and animal musk. The aromas are released via an internal string or by rubbing the piece onto skin. The smells are directed at the user, reminding them to observe their mood and body, encouraging dialogue. Each aroma is matched to individual phases of a woman’s natural, biological cycle. They are a reflection of the different stages: from those most energetic and cleansing, through those associated with sexuality and the need to procreate, to that concerning stress and the need to isolate oneself. RITU, from Sanskrit r’tu, means monthly – a recurring act culminating in a goal.
