Let Nature take care of you

We have talked a lot about our creative process, about how we do things. We have explained well the engine of our project, our commitment to the landscape and our environment. But I have the feeling that we have not talked enough about our products, which are our reason for being. Maybe this is because they speak for themselves. The quality of its raw materials 100% natural, jumps at sight as soon as you open the bottle. Landscape in a bottle. Packaged nature
 

la Gutina

 
But there are many things to say, because the uniqueness of our products deserves an explanation that helps us better understand why they are not different, but simply another thing.

There is a generalised idea that a perfume should go with you wherever you go and draw the attention and admiration of whoever enters into the fragrance’s wide and expansive field of action. The use of synthetic essences and other products derived from petroleum is what ensures this extraordinary power of permanence and attraction. Yet in reality it is simply a mask. People like to wear masks and disguise themselves. There is nothing we can say against that.
Our creations invite you to live the olfactory experience, in a much more intimate way. They are not designed to seduce others but to reconquer yourself. That’s why we like to say that they are perfumes for those who have never worn perfumes (and this phrase is not ours, but from many people who have discovered us).
 

la Gutina

 
When we speak of 100% natural materials, we mean that all the materials used to give our captures their characteristic aromas are essential, absolute oils of the highest quality, coming from woods, resins, leaves and flowers that have been cultivated or gathered in the wild. We do not accept any kind of rectified or modified oil. We also use hydrolates distilled by steaming and macerated tinctures, done in our facilities with plants we ourselves have gathered on site.

The advantage of not using synthetic products on your skin are well known. It is not only true but important that natural fragrances interact with our epidermis, transforming and adapting themselves to whoever is wearing them, becoming personal and reinforcing the user’s own essences.

What is true is that these fragrances do not remain on our skin in the same way as synthetic ones, but their effects on our organism are longer-lasting and their longer-term benefits incalculable. They are not worn to ‘mark out a territory’ and sell oneself to others, but to feel better, reconnect with what is authentic about oneself, and to relate to a specific ambience on this basis.
 

la Gutina

 
Our products not only offer different, intense and exclusive aromas, but they also invite to a new way of enjoying and living them. A new way of experiencing and understanding the olfactory experience, more and better connected to us and our environment.

In fact, is very simple: Nature is wise and knows how to take care of us, because no matter how much we try to forget it, we are Nature.

A curiosity:

It’s great when you can incorporate comments made by users into your brand discourse. I have already told you about one, but here are some more pearls. Let our brave noses speak:

“Not only do they smell good but they feel good”

“They are enormously addictive. Nobody can give up what they know is good for them”

“I would call them Scape Fragrances, because they help you escape urban heaviness. They make me travel far, among trees, flowers and bushes”

“BOSC activates me in the mornings. MUGA gives me confidence, I wear it before a difficult meeting. And CALA is more nocturnal. Ideal for a relaxed dinner with good friends”

Mel olfactory disgresion

MEL is our first solid perfume and the result of a long collaboration with bees, our winged harvest companions. Made from organic beeswax (from the hives installed in our Bee Brave pilot project in Can Bech de Baix) and sweet almond oil from organic farming. Formulated only with essential oils from honey plants, which serve as food for our environmental heroes. Soft and balsamic, delicately aromatic. Its warm and welcoming background will make you feel good, with yourself and with your surroundings.

MEL is our sincere tribute to these fascinating social beings who have silently taught us for years the art of combining plants and aromas. Not only are they the natural perfumers of our landscape, but thanks to their tireless collecting work, they ensure the biodiversity of our landscapes.

Tailor-made Perfumes

We capture the essence of any natural environment that you choose. The aroma of your region, the perfume of your farm or that of the landscape that you contemplated years ago from the window of your room, in that summer house. But not only that, we can also capture the fragrance of a lived experience, a party, a house full of memories, of a workshop or work space. As long as it is based on natural essential oils, we can design your personalized perfume and capture the fragrance of what matters to you.

Case studies:

Perfume SON BRULL. Creation of an exclusive perfume for a Relais & Châteaux in Pollensa, on the island of Mallorca. Made with the most abundant plants on the estate and capturing the aroma of its deeply Mediterranean landscapes.

INCAVI project. Five olfactory captures for five wineries in five Destinations of Origin (D.O’s) in Catalonia. In this commission from INCAVI, we traveled to five wine regions to capture the aromas of the plants that influence the territory and the wines of five very unique wineries.

Casa Cuervo. After the success of our ESSAI/Olfactori Digression, inspired by the farm of our creator’s father, we were commissioned to create a perfume, this time, with the plants collected on the farm, to capture the essence of this corner of the Extremaduran landscape.

Objectives

Objetive # 1 

The main idea is to combine minimum intervention with maximum mutual benefit. We have to let Nature do her thing. We are just there to assist and
escort her.

First phase

-The first important thing is to recover the optimal state of the Prat de Dall. For this reason, we have to remove the poplar trees and clean away brambles and other bushes. We also need to cover the holes from fallen trees in order to level the ground well, so that it can be mowed.

-Along with this cleaning work, we will place the hives. Not on the prat de dall, but some 500m away (limit of the usual minimum radius of action for honey bees) , on a shrubland of aromatics, so we also give a chance to all the other pollinators to also take advantage of the prat de dall’s biodiversity.

Objetive # 2

Second phase

-Monitoring and maintenance of both lines of action: the hives (health of the bees, quantity and quality of the honey) and the prat de dall (variety of flora, mowing quality).

Become a donor meadow

Due to its characteristics, the Prat de Dall from Can Bec could become a perfect
donor meadow. Then, in collaboration with Prats Vius, we would collect its seeds in order to help restore other prats de dall in the area and use this location as a project showcase.

Replicate the project

After collecting enough data (2-3 years), we would love to replicate the project in other properties, making the necessary adjustments based on each propert

How to collaborate with the project

If you want to collaborate financing the project ,you can buy some of the garments that we have designed for it. You have a t-shirt and two different models of cap. The entire profit will be used to cover the expenses derived from the actions, monitoring and management of the Bee Brave project. Furthermore, you will help to gove it more visibility. Many thanks for your
collaboration.

Can Bech, The pilot Project

Near Agullana (Alt Empordà), almost near the French border, in the Les Salines Mountains, we found an abandoned Prat de Dall, now covered with poplar trees. The presence of these trees caught our attention, since they usually need humid soils. The first botanical studies made by Joan Font (a biology professor
at Girona University) confirmed our intuitions, and they exceeded our expectations. The richness of its biodiversity is outstanding. We convinced the owner to join the project and started the cleaning work to accommodate our first organic bee hives and recover the prat de dall.

Boosting biodiversity

Bee Brave starts from a basic idea. If there are flowers, then there are bees. And if there are more bees, there will be more flowers, and thus more plants. This, for thousands of years, has been one of nature’s most beautiful feedback cycles. However, excessive human ambition is changing this equilibrium and breaking the
cycle. BEE BRAVE wants to restore this cycle, even if only locally, focusing on two parts of the equation: the bees and their habitat here.

Bee Brave recovers semi-natural habitats of great biodiversity and in regression in the Empordà, called Prats de Dall (Mowing Meadows). The action focuses on the adaptation of the Prats de Dall and subsequent follow-up. This is how we ensure the health and good nutrition of the ecological hives that we have installed there. And on the other hand, these bees help with their pollination task, the recovery and maintenance of this semi-natural habitat.

“The idea is simple: give a bit back to the landscape that gives us so much. It is
a gesture of gratitude. While the landscape does not need us to be what it is,
the landscape builds us and shapes us much more than we recognize. We owe a lot to our natural environment. Being aware of that is already a first step. BEE BRAVE is Bravanariz’s humble way of going one step further.”

 Ernesto Collado, CEO & Found
