Summer in Gaia



Summer is here at last. Time to show off beautiful beach bodies, gorgeous hair and pretty feet! Time to start shedding layers of cloths, go barefoot, taking siestas and staying up late to enjoy the long cool mediterranean nights! 
Our Gaia Girl Team has grown again and is planing a get-together on Mid Summer Night to spin some magic!  Our 3 girls Rosa, Corinna and Siska that are always at hand to advise and sell our Gaia Goodies in our shop at GAIAbathtime and at the Artesanal market events across the Island.
The upcoming event to look out for is the Selva Herb Fair next Sunday 14th of June. It really is one of Mallorca's  highlights and a must for your calendar. Rosa will be there with a full selection of Gaia products. The villagers rise early and go to gather Myrtle which is later destilled in a large Still in the middle of the village square.
Rosa will also be back at Sa Sagrera this year. Its a small crafts market just in front of La Lonja in Palma. The cute little row of craft stands sits just on the edge of the square and across from the sea  making it a perfect spot for a cool paseo and place to sit, have a drink and enjoy the cool evening.

Gaia Natural in Hotel Cap Rocat

One of our esteemed clients is Hotel Cap Rocat in Cala Blava Mallorca.

The Hotel has the most spectacular setting and is located in the historic walls of an old Napolionic Fortress. It has to be one of the most secluded, private and still places on the island. Its Restaurant has recently been rated as one of the 10 best places to eat on the island. Indeed you would sit in a most idillic setting to have your dinner. https://www.clickstay.com/blog/mind-blowing-restaurants-mallorca






Gaia Natural Products designed their signature scent for them in 2013 and it is incorporated in the candles that are used to enhance the wonderful atmosphere of Cap Rocat.
We also make a Pillow Spray for the Hotel which is used at Turn Down.
in 2014 Gaia started making fresh, natural products for the Cap Rocat Spa. We supply them with our Ayurvedic Oils, Body Scrubs and famously all the elements for the Gaia Goddess Facial. Many of our products can be bought at the Cap Rocat Boutique.

This year we have launched an Eau de Perfume especially designed for Cap Rocat. It was designed to reflect the sense of the place, its tranquility and uniqueness.
The Eau de Perfume has a top note that is citrusy and and salty, evoking the closeness of the ocean. At its heart it has Rock-Rose, which is a flower that grows in abundance in Mallorca. Its has a sweet slightly resiny smell speaking of sumer heat and restful afternoon sleeps. The precious woods in the bottom note of this Perfume reflect the historic and unusual setting of the Fortress which is the Hotel, the large cool spaces and its old wooden beams. To tie all these notes together-a hint of Vanilla- the elegant luxury that is Cap Rocat.


Also available as a room Fragrance.

The Eau de perfume is packaged in an Island Made Leather casing embossed with the Cap Rocat Logo. It is a superb gift and Keep-Sake and can be bought on Line on the Cap Rocat Website or in the Cap Rocat Boutique.

Gaia Natural Products is launching its new Perfume 'Blau"

             'Blau' the new Perfume by Gaia

The creation of this unique scent has an interesting story. Trudi Murray founder and owner of Gaia met a young man who, she found out during a conversation, can smell colour.




   

 





Synesthetes is the name given to people who have this gift and making a perfume is a perfect task for them.
Some synesthetes often report that they were unaware their experiences were unusual until they realised other people did not have them, while others report feeling as if they had been keeping a secret their entire lives.The automatic and ineffable nature of a synesthetic experience means that the pairing may not seem out of the ordinary. This involuntary and consistent nature helps define synesthesia as a real experience. Most synesthetes report that their experiences are pleasant or neutral, although, in rare cases, synesthetes report that their experiences can lead to a degree of sensory overload.


Though often stereotyped in the popular media as a medical condition or neurological aberration, many synesthetes themselves do not perceive their synesthetic experiences as a handicap. To the contrary, some report it as a gift—an additional "hidden" sense—something they would not want to miss. Most synesthetes become aware of their distinctive mode of perception in their childhood. Some have learned how to apply their ability in daily life and work.


We worked with Callum, who was born in 2000, to make a perfect blue Perfume, the kind of blue you find in coves with sandy bottoms around our island, the kind of blue which also represents the Gaia blue.
We started with Callum singling out all the essential oils which smelled blue to him. Then with the help of a colour wheel we created a top note, middle note and bottom note, bringing together harmonising blues. The result is a surprisingly fresh, floral perfume with a fruity, citrusy top note. Rich and heavy floral heart and a slightly spicy woody and very rounded bottom note. 


Callum says that it smells like a perfect blue and if you move your wrist in front of your nose it smells like the air when the sea is turbulent and has been beating against the rocks.
As blue in Mallorquin is ‘Blau” and we found this to be true for blue in many other languages we decided to call our perfume ‘Blau’.
You are invited to step by our Gaia Bathtime Shop to try the new scent and to take a small sample away with you!
