Bravanariz

Bravanariz emerged in Girona province in 2014 as a project created by Ernesto Collado. Coming from theatre and contemporary art, with a family connection to perfume chemistry and essential oils, Collado developed the brand’s work around the aromas of wild landscapes in the Empordà and Mediterranean region. Bravanariz gathers and botanically analyses plants, using slow traditional distillation, natural oils, tinctures, and hydrolates to create olfactory experiences connected to landscape and memory rather than reproducing conventional perfume accords. The company began operating as a limited company in Pontós, Girona, on 15 December 2016, and Bravanariz was presented at the Pitti Fragranze perfume show. Its landscape-scent concept is represented by Bosc, Muga, and Cala, associated with mountain, river or plain, and coastal landscapes of the Empordà; Cami extends the concept through an experience-based scent.
