Gaia Natural Products in Spa Bellesa de Claret

Proud to be supplying the Spa Bellesa de Claret Capdella Mallorca

We are proud to be supplying wonderful and natural Spa Products to the Spa of Son Claret for the start of the new season February 2015.

Son Claret is almost a neighbour to our Gaia Finca and it is wonderful to be supplying them with products that are grown on the same land. Staying in line with the original brief that had us making a scent for Son Claret back in 2012, when we were asked to make it smell like their gardens after the rain, we have chosen natural ingredients and scents for the Spa Rituals. 

The Bellesa de Claret Spa will be offering the Gaia Rose Facial which works with ground, locally grown and harvested rose petals, a roses water hydrolate and lashings of cacao butter to deeply hydrate and nourish the facial skin and decolte.

Further they are adding to their menu an exfoliating body scrub made from almond oil, quince apple, grape seed and strawberry seed. The scent on the body glow is that of a walk through a Mallorquin forest, on the way to the beach to watch the sun set. It is perfect for the start of your holiday to prepare the skin for a beautiful even tan.

For lovers of a truly natural and simple treatment there is 'The Olive Tree Treatment' which is made up of all the elements of the olive tree, the leafs and pips of the fruit. It wonderfully rich, nourishing and perfect to fix your tan near the end of your stay so it will last you longer after your return to the real world.

A signature treatment with a specially prepared massage balm will carry the scent that is by now famous for Son Claret 'Jardi' . It is the scent of their garden after the rain!

We spend some time with the therapists in a training session to introduce them to our products and these are some pictures from the event.

         

Making a Perfect Blue Perfume

Working with Callum, who has the ability to smell colours.

This meaning that a scent to him has a colour and a colour has a scent.
We went in search of creating the Perfect Blue.

In conversation with this very gifted young man I found out that he can smell colours. Presented with all the essential oils in my collection he selected all the blue scents. He did this without reading the labels and then put them onto a colour wheel. According to him they ranged from light blues and turquoise to almost purply blues.





We then started by making a top note using citrus and fruit essential oils. Once Callum was happy and able to place the note on the colour wheel we proceeded to make a heart note in a separate vial.









When happy with this note and able to tell that it was going to make the light blue top note a little darker we put it together with the top note. Very happy with the result we repeated the step to make a bottom note. This also we added to the blend.

All it took was some very minor adjustments in quantity of essential oils in all notes and we had what Callum describes as a Perfect Blue.






He says the scent has the translucent turquoise blue of the sea in coves with sandy bottoms. When you wave your wrist about in front of your nose it smells like the sea lapping against some rocks.





       

             
To my nose it is a surprisingly rounded and perfect scent.
                                                   

While looking for a colour wheel I found this photo of the Colour Wheel that Johan Wolfgang Goethe made that symbolises the human spirit. In the blue part of the spectrum he has sensuality and fantasy.

We are currently looking for the perfect bottle, designing the perfect label and making the perfect blue velvet sacks to present them in. Hopefully it will all be ready in time for christmas.
