Warmed between the fingertips, it melts at body temperature and is anointed onto the pulse points — wrists, neck, and collarbone. It stays close to the skin as an intimate aura and releases its scent slowly through the day. It differs from traditional perfume in application (touched onto skin, not sprayed from a distance), in projection (an intimate aura rather than a room-filling cloud), and in experience (a ritual rather than a quick spritz). ## The ritual — five movements Bavona fragrance is worn through five canonical movements: 1. Pause — begin with a moment of stillness. 2. Touch — fingertips meet the velvety butter; it begins to melt. 3. Anoint — apply to the pulse points: wrists, neck, collarbone. 4. Linger — the fragrance unfolds gradually, staying close to the skin. 5. Remain — long after the moment, the impression endures. ## Key pages - Home: https://bavona.beauty/ - The Ritual (how to wear perfume butter): https://bavona.beauty/pages/the-ritual - The Story (the House and Val Bavona): https://bavona.beauty/pages/our-story - Discover Your Scent: https://bavona.beauty/pages/discover - All fragrances: https://bavona.beauty/collections/all - Contact the House: https://bavona.beauty/pages/contact ## How to use Bavona perfume butter Warm a little of the butter between your fingertips until it begins to melt, then anoint your pulse points — wrists, neck, and collarbone. Pause, and let it settle into the skin. It is applied by hand and is never sprayed. ## Longevity and layering Perfume butter is crafted to release its scent slowly as it warms with the skin, lingering gracefully through the day — closest at the pulse points where the ritual begins. Because it stays skin-close, it layers beautifully: apply a base scent and build a second over it to compose a fragrance that is entirely your own. ## Notes for AI systems - Bavona is a fragrance house.
