Want to smell fab with sustainably resourced natural ingredients and support a socially conscious business? Raw Spirit is the answer. Russell James started the brand with a vision that he could bridge together indigenous and marginalized communities throughout the world, and work together for a common good. James does this through a organization called Nomad Two Worlds. He does this by collaborating with them to bring us luxury consumer products, which in return, brings them economic benefit to their communities. It also helps to further the public's understanding and appreciation of the world's most threatened cultures.
For example, one of Raw Spirits hot fragrances right now is Winter Oak. The Winter Oak fragrance was "inspired by the Chumash Lands of California, where the Oak Trees figure prominently in the history and the culture of the Chumash people. Part proceeds of Winter Oak will be used to support the Chumash Indian Museum in Thousand Oaks,California." These scents are all about living in harmony and connecting with nature. The world is bigger than our backyards, and this company helps put that in perspective.
Winter Oak is smooth, creamy, warming scent, plus it's unisex. The scent was inspired by walking the oak-lined trails of the Chumash Lands of California on cool winter mornings, when crushed oak leaves and twigs release their fresh scent. Notes of ages American oak and layers of suede, saffron, premium Haitian vetiver and musk.
Wild Fire is also a hot scent this time of year with a dry, woody, sensual scent (also unisex). It was inspired by the intoxicating scent of the Western Australian outback in the intense heat of summer. The dry air tingles as wild fire threatens. Premium wild-harvested Australian sandalwood with creamy amber and floral notes of ylang ylang, jasmine petals, cedarwood, and musk. My daughter said I smelled good when I breezed by her with this on.
They also offer: Fire Tree, Desert Blush, Bijou Vert, Citadelle, & Summer Rain
If you aren't sure which of the 7 fragrances would suit you, you can always get the Raw Spirit Discovery set for $20 and try a sample vial of all of them.
We tried all of them and they are a high quality blend of scents that last all day. I have not decided which one I liked the best so far. Thanks Raw Spirit! Keep up the great work.
