Bravanariz and Octubre — a combination worth experiencing. A unisex fragrance belonging to the wood and citrus families. A fragrant mist — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Behind this fragrance stands Spain and its rich perfumery heritage. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A weightless, fragrant veil with a light concentration delicately refreshes the skin and gives a feeling of cleanliness and comfort
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Octubre is built as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Bravanariz comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Fragrant mist supports the right density and pace of development.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a soft-dry woody mood: Chestnut, Juniper, Lemon Verbena, Lichen, Oak moss, Pine and Pomegranate. In this format 7 notes sound as one voice, forming clear woody framework that reads as cohesive from the start.
The middle and base stages are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Citrus and Wood forming a compact and readable structure.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Fruit, Wood, Citrus and Earthy / Mossy. From a family perspective the scent maps to Citrus and Wood.
Overall Octubre reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.
