The garden of an imaginary herbalist/alchemist theme

Walk in the sunny fields of the Keyneston Mills farm where adventurer horticulturalists grow herbs with curious citrus twists: bergamot mint, lemon thyme and clary sage. They send the extracts of these herbs to French perfumers who then mix them with other perfume ingredients to create Run of the River, a sunny green elixir.

This is an introspective and labyrinthian formula exploring the darkest shades of green: moss, bitter herbs (with a prominent chamomile note), and dry hay.

This perfume goes back to the times when the border between perfume, skincare and medicine was blurred, and these blends would be purchased from an alchemist/pharmacist deep in the narrow streets of 17th century City of London. EL features bay, geranium, clary sage, cinnamon leaves, and more. It’s a beautiful dark, herbaceous blend with a smoldering background, as if the herbs have acquired a smoky touch from the lab burner and fireplace.

Experience the ambiance of an alchemist/herbalist's smoky cellar. Mind your head - there are mysterious bitter-smelling herbs hanging from the ceiling.

This blend features the extract of a rare medicinal plant that only grows in the Balearic islands (hypericum balearicum). ILLA is part of the 'olfactive digressions' trio of Bravanariz’ natural perfumery experiments, representing the sound of waves and sea breeze in the coastal grass. This is beautiful and natural aromatic chaos, as opposed to conventional perfumes which could be compared to artificially-composed tunes.

This is a pensive outdoors fougère with smoky lavender and bergamot. As if a gentleman applied his morning aftershave, set off on a hunt, and then ended up siting by a campfire absentmindedly listening to the autumn forest.
