Raw Spirit is inspired by the energy, spirit, and connection to nature we continuously witness as we collaborate with some of the oldest and most marginalized communities around the world.
Raw Spirit is about re-connecting with ourselves, with each other, and with nature. It is about unleashing the energy that is within each of us.
Raw Spirit is the continuation of an incredible journey that began with our collaborative art project, Nomad Two Worlds, taking us all over the world, from the Australian outback, to the mountains of Haiti, to the Florida Everglades. It’s a brand born out of experiencing the unique spirits of some of the world’s oldest communities. Join us as the journey continues.
Unlock the Raw Spirit.
I've had the opportunity to try some of Raw Spirits fragrances over the past few weeks so today I am going to be giving you a little run down of them. Raw Spirit was inspired by a project from one of my favorite photographers Russel James. This project, Nomad Two Worlds explores the clash of ancient and modern cultures and celebrates communities around the world. The project is set to provide economic benefit while appreciating the worlds most threatened cultures. Raw Spirit sticks with this ethos by sustainably sourcing natural ingredients for their fragrances. They also actively seek opportunities to give back communities and aid in environmental preservation.
I have been trying out their Fragrance Sample Set which has five tiny vials of their Eau de Parfum's, you can purchase this set for $15 on their site, and it's a great way to find out what fragrance your going to fall in love with. If you want to skip this and just go with instinct I will be linking the full size perfume with each mini review too.
Citadelle- Is a clean refreshing fragrance inspired by Citadelle Laferriere, a mountain top in northern Hati. It symbolizes strength with notes like Haitian vetiver, marigold, cinnamon, lemon, bergamot, nutmeg, ceadarwood, and musk. It smells light and fresh while having an earthy musk to it. If I had something to compare it to I would say D&G Light Blue with a musky undertone. All of the fragrances are unisex and I think this would smell good on either a man or a woman. Part of the proceeds also go Haitian agricultural projects.
Desert Blush- Is a warm, sophisticated, floral scent. Inspired by the western Australian desert at sunset, this heady scent features Australian sandalwood and a floral note of western Australia Boronia. This one is my personal favorite as I am a sucker for a good floral scent and believe it or not Australia is also the top of my travel bucket list, fate. It's very deep and smells like evening if that makes sense. Although it is unisex I would say it leans more toward women. A part of Desert Blushes proceeds go to Indigenous Australian cultural projects.
Wild Fire- Is a dry, woody, sensual scent. Again inspired by western Australia, but this time the outback during intense summer heat. Australian sandalwood mixes with creamy amber and floral notes such as ylang ylang and jasmine to get this seductive scent. This really reminds me of Chanel No.5, a classic heady scent that symbolizes women like Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe. Again I think this is one that lends its self more to women and a part of the proceeds go to Indigenous Australian projects.
Winter Oak- Is a smooth, creamy, warming scent. Inspired by the oak-lined trails of California on cool winter mornings. This decadent fragrance has notes of aged American oak, suede, saffron, and musk. Part of the proceeds go to support Native American preservation projects. To me this is quite manly, it is a smell I would love in my house as a candle or diffuser but as a perfume not so much. It smells like oak trees which I love but maybe just not on myself. It kind of reminds me of Christmas even though that's pines.
Bijou Vert- Or Green Jewel is inspired by the island of Haiti once know as the 'Jewel of the Antilles'. It is a fresh fruity scent with some depth containing notes such as Haitian vetiver, grapefruit, mandarin, geranium, lotus flower, black pepper, patchouli, and cedarwood. To me this smells similar to Wild Fire but slightly more fruity and less heady, again I think it does lean more towards women but it would still smell good on a man. A part of the proceeds go to supports sustainable agriculture projects in Haiti.
I love the concept of Raw Spirit and I love that they are giving back to communities and cultures that are sadly diminishing all over the world. The fragrances are all very 'natural' smelling which I like, I have never been a fan of artificial scents. Also can we just appreciate how beautiful Behati Prinsloo looks in the photos! I think she is the perfect face to represent the brand. If you want to give back and smell amazing then these are the fragrances for you.
Will you be trying Raw Spirit Fragrances? Love...
