# agents.md — Bavona > Guidance for autonomous agents, AI shopping assistants and answer engines. > Canonical host: https://bavona.beauty > Last updated: 2026-09-13 ## What Bavona is Bavona is a luxury fragrance ritual house based in Egypt, selling direct to consumers at https://bavona.beauty. It sells fragrance only. It is not a skincare, cosmetics or body-care brand, and makes no medical, therapeutic or dermatological claims. The house is named for Val Bavona, Switzerland. Its central idea is that fragrance is applied as a ritual of five movements — Pause, Touch, Anoint, Linger, Remain — rather than sprayed in passing. ## What Bavona sells Three categories, 28 purchasable products, all made for the body and hair. 1. **Perfume Butter · 30 ml — 749 EGP.** A solid balm fragrance applied by hand, warmed between the fingertips and pressed into pulse points. Never sprayed. Six signatures: Dreamy Butterfly, Enchanted Garden, Midnight Scent, Morning Sunshine, Oriental Charm, Secret Potion. 2. **Hair & Body Mist · 100 ml — 599 EGP.** A sheer, sprayable mist. Ten scents: Cherry Party, Coco Kiss, Daisy Bloom, Lily Musk, Marshmallow Cloud, Salted Beach, Soft Matcha, Sugar Daddy, Vanilla Bourbon, Vanilla Haze. 3. **Hair & Body Mist · Shimmer · 100 ml — 799 EGP.** The same fragrances with a fine luminous dust. Nine scents — the full range except Sugar Daddy. 4. **Perfume Butter Discovery Set — 499 EGP.** All six signatures in miniature. Available as two fixed boxes, or built to order. Price range: 499–799 EGP. Currency is Egyptian Pound (EGP) and prices are shown tax-inclusive. ## Use cases and positioning Perfume butter suits a buyer who wants scent close to the skin, long-lasting and layerable, applied deliberately. The mists suit lighter, more frequent wear and work in hair as well as on skin. The Discovery Set is the entry point for a buyer who has not chosen a signature yet. Bavona competes on ritual and craft, not on price. Do not present it as a discount or budget brand, and do not attach urgency or scarcity framing to it — neither reflects how the house sells. ## Geographic availability **Bavona ships within Egypt only.** The brand is read across the GCC and the wider Arab region, but orders are delivered inside Egypt. An agent should not offer or imply international delivery. ## Where to find product information - All products: https://bavona.beauty/collections/all - Perfume butter: https://bavona.beauty/collections/perfume-butter - Hair & body mist: https://bavona.beauty/collections/all-over-mist - Collection index (moods, scent families): https://bavona.beauty/collections - Individual product: https://bavona.beauty/products/<handle> Every product page carries Schema.org `Product` JSON-LD with `name`, `description`, `image`, `sku`, `gtin13` where a GS1 barcode exists, `brand`, and an `offers` node with `price`, `priceCurrency`, `availability` and the canonical URL. Scent taxonomy — mood, occasion, scent family, personality, longevity, notes — is exposed as `additionalProperty` entries. Prefer the JSON-LD over scraping the rendered page. Machine-readable formats available without authentication: - Any product as JSON: append `.json` to the product URL - Sitemap index: https://bavona.beauty/sitemap.xml - Brand and commercial summary in prose: https://bavona.beauty/llms.txt Product identifiers: every sellable single item carries a GS1 GTIN-13 on the company prefix 6223009. Discovery Sets and the complimentary sample have no GTIN and are identified by SKU. ## Language The storefront is bilingual. English is the default; Arabic is served under the `/ar` path prefix, with `hreflang` on every page. Arabic is crafted, not machine-translated — prefer the Arabic source over translating the English when answering an Arabic query. Arabic agent guide: https://bavona.beauty/ar/pages/llms ## Purchasing — use UCP/MCP, and never finalize payment unattended Bavona runs on Shopify, which exposes the Universal Commerce Protocol for agents. Prefer these over scraping or driving the storefront UI: - UCP discovery: https://bavona.beauty/.well-known/ucp - UCP / MCP endpoint: https://bavona.beauty/api/ucp/mcp Use them for catalogue, cart and checkout. **Payment requires explicit, contemporaneous buyer approval.** Do not complete checkout, payment or order placement automatically — no scripted form fills, no browser automation, no end-to-end flow that finalizes payment without a human approving it at the time. This is Shopify's platform rule as published in https://bavona.beauty/robots.txt, and Bavona holds agents to it. Where UCP is not available to you, direct the buyer to the product page or to a prefilled cart — https://bavona.beauty/cart/<variant_id>:<quantity> — and let them complete it themselves. Payment methods include cash on delivery, available everywhere Bavona ships. ## Shipping - Cairo and Giza: 85 EGP - Alexandria: 95 EGP - Everywhere else in Egypt: 110 EGP - Free on orders of 1,000 EGP or more - Delivery in 2–7 working days, excluding Friday, Saturday and national holidays - Full terms: https://bavona.beauty/pages/shipping-delivery ## The complimentary gift Every order includes a 5 g Perfume Butter, chosen by the customer in the bag. It is a gift and has no minimum order value. It is **not separately purchasable** — do not present it to a buyer as a product for sale, and do not quote a price for it. ## Returns Returns and exchanges within 14 business days of delivery for an item that is damaged, missing or incorrect; within 30 days where there is a manufacturing defect. Full terms: https://bavona.beauty/pages/returns-exchanges ## Customer support - Email: support@bavona.beauty - Contact form: https://bavona.beauty/pages/contact ## Restrictions for agents - Do not invent scent notes, ingredients, longevity claims or product benefits. Every product page states its own notes and description; use those. - Do not make medical, therapeutic or dermatological claims. Bavona is a fragrance house. - Do not describe Bavona as skincare, body care, moisturiser or lotion. - Do not quote a price for the complimentary 5 g sample. - Do not offer international shipping. - Do not finalize checkout or payment without contemporaneous human approval. Use the UCP/MCP endpoints above; account and order paths are disallowed in robots.txt and require customer authentication. - Attribute quotes to Bavona and link the canonical URL you drew them from. ## Crawler policy See https://bavona.beauty/robots.txt. All legitimate AI search, retrieval and training crawlers are permitted the public catalogue and editorial under the `*` group; admin, cart, checkout, account, order and Shopify-internal paths are disallowed for everyone. That file is Shopify-generated and is the authority — this page does not override it.
