Inside Scent: Maig

Bravanariz Inside Scents bring the aromas of coastal Catalonia, Spain to your home, so you can keep up with the cycles of nature throughout the year and enjoy its wonders. One fragrance for each season to fill your house or your working place with the changing scents of the wild. Just like eating seasonal goods, seasonal smelling also benefits us — tuning our inner cycles with those of nature. Because after all, we are nature. 

Maig (“May” in Catalan) is deliciously contradictory, as spring. Combining the luminous elegance of lavender and the dark animalistic touch of rockroses along with the exuberant aromas of the blooming bushes.

Maig/Spring:
Excessive and changeable, with spring comes the urgency, the hormonal revolution and allergies. But in the same way that plants and their sexual activity annoy many, it also provides us with remedies to combat these discomforts. His energy is contagious and contrasts with the winter lethargy. Our organisms seek light and heat from the sun. There is a certain excitement, which we indulge in with pleasure, but which also produces a certain stress. That is why it is important to keep your feet on the ground.

Plants & benefits:

Lavender/ Lavanda, Espliego, Lavandín (Lavandula augustifolia Miller – Lavandula x intermedia Emeric &. Loisel – Lavandula latifolia Med): They tone down all those strong contrasts, relaxing and softening the atmosphere, offsetting the excitement of an enormously stressful season.

Rosemary /Romero (Rosmarinus officinalis): Great neuro-connector, which keeps us awake and attentive to innumerable changes. Ready to improvise.

Geranium/ Geranio (Geranium): Detoxifies and cleanses, and is a famous hormonal regulator (especially for women).

Chamomile/Manzanilla (Chamaemelum nobile): It helps to fall asleep and accompanies us on sleepless nights, due to overexcitation.

Juniper / Enebro (Juniperus communis), Cypress/Ciprés (Cupressus).

Rockrose / Jara pringosa (Cistus ladanifer): The balsamic effect of labdanum helps to combine everything and gives the mixture a dark and (vegan) animalic touch, which helps to keep our feet on the ground and not be dazzled by the luminosity and the prevailing color.

Uses:
The Inside Scents, apart from having a lower concentration of essence and alcoholic graduation, do not differ in any way from the other Bravanariz fragrances. The high quality of its raw materials (organic molasses alcohol, 100% natural essential oils, tinctures and hydrolates) is exactly the same, so you can use them perfectly as a perfume (subtler, if you want), spraying it on your skin and hair. To change the vibes of a space, you can spray it in the air, but for greater permanence it is advisable to do it on fabrics (curtains, carpets, upholstery) as long as you respect the minimum 25cm (9,8 in) distance to avoid possible stains. You can also spray it on clothing items such as scarves or coats to dress up with the scents of each season.
