Inside Scent: Octubre
Regular price $ 55.00Bravanariz 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.
Octubre/Autumn:
According to rural tradition, the beginning of the calendar is on September 29 (San Miguel). This is the moment when nature prepares and fertilizes its soils, with the fall of the leaves, to start its life cycle. It is a season of transition and great changes. The days get shorter, the temperatures drop. At the social level, it means going back to work or school. Like every beginning, it is a time of many novelties that generate certain anxiety. Our bodies and minds need to adapt. Luckily nature, as always, offers us what we need.
Plants & Benefits:
Lemon verbena /Hierba Luisa (Aloysia citrodora): It acts on our nervous system, calming us down and helping to focus our attention.
Myrtle /Mirto (Myrtus):It is also a relaxing scent and a recognized respiratory system decongestant.
Juniper /Enebro (Juniperus communis), Pine / Pino (Pinus halepensis): The perfect pairing for the first colds of the year. Antiseptics and antimicrobials, with their load of phytoncides, strengthen our immune system.
Oakmoss / Musgo de encina (Evernia prunsatri): Balsamic and stabilizing.
Tangerine /Mandarina (Citrus reticulata): The first citrus to ripen. Like his first cousins, he lifts the spirits and awakens the senses.
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.

Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchasing full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full-bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
