Old Reino de Espana, or Spain, as most of us know it, has always been portrayed through its many unique traditions. You may be reminded of it while listening to the romantic sounds of the guitar, perhaps while watching a colorful flamenco performance or while feeling the thrill of the running of the bulls. As for the bewitching scent evoking the ''land of the setting sun'', the name the Greeks gave Spain around 600 b.c., this was created under Madrid's hot Mediterranean rays in the country's oldest, most prestigious perfumery, Alvarez Gomez.
Dating back to 1899, this pioneering family-owned brand harnessed the benefits of essential plant oils as well as floral essences in creating their lines of cosmetics, elixirs, and perfumes. While some costumers describe Alvarez Gomez as the historic company developing products with an all time classic fragrance, others have adopted it recently because of its fresh scent and the modern vibe of the cheery, bright golden label. Balancing associations between old and new, the Mediterranean-inspired scent will forever remain distinct through its unaltered fine quality.
Purchasing the Agua de Colonia Concentrada, launched in 1912, you will not only get your hands on an old-school bottle but are bound to dive into a fiesta of lively rhythm. A delight for zesty scent lovers, splashing this cologne on, you'll be greeted by fresh citruses, charmed by aromatic herbs and surprised by subtle bitter tones. As you probably guessed, the luring agua uses only natural ingredients: a blend of Mediterranean plants, flowers and fruits. Invigorating, fresh, iconic, this is what the sunny, dry summer in Madrid smells like!
If the cologne got you hooked, remember the stylish energizing scent comes in other skin care products as well. Try the invigorating Alvarez Gomez Aqua de Colonia Refreshing Perfumed Towels for a ''breath of Spanish air'' or the Alvarez Gomez Relaxing Bath Salts next time you feel like spoiling yourself with a ''Hollywood bath''. The Alcohol-free Roll-on Deodorant or the Alcohol-free Spray Deo share more characteristics than the lack of alcohol; they are both effective, gentle, matching all skin types. The softness of the blue waves was compressed into the luxurious Alvarez Gomez Concentrated Cologne Soap Bar; the nourishing Moisturizing Body Lotion hydrates exquisitely because of its olive oil basis.
Looking for a Mediterranean inspired scent to remind you of the happy-spirited Spain? You need not look 'further! Alvarez Gomez brings you Madrid's hot, traditional summer vibe.
