Perfect Partners – Aromatherapy Associates Gifting Collection

Posted by dulwichmum on Tue 5 October 2010

Name of product: Perfect Partners – Aromatherapy Associates Gifting Collection

Price: £14.00 for 2 x 7.5 ml

The blurb: “Encased in a beautiful soft gold box, this brand new partnership of precious oils accompanies a new gifting collection, including the Indulgence Candle, a stunning candle with sensual scent of jasmine and geranium and a beautifully presented Miniature Oil Collection

Comprising of two small versions of the hero Bath & Shower Oils, Revive Morning & Deep Relax, this little box of delectable essential oils help you naturally maximise your day or sleep well at night

Revive Morning Bath & Shower Oil contains a zesty blend of pink grapefruit, rosemary and juniper berry to awaken the senses and help clear a busy mind. Multi-award winning Deep Relax Bath & Shower Oil combines vetivert, camomile and sandalwood to calm the mind and body and promote a peaceful night’s sleep. Together, they provide the perfect combination”

First impressions: A luxury product, the packaging is small like a jewellery box. Wonderfully intense, sensuous aromas. The oils are easily distinguishable; Revive Morning is lighter in colour and Relax Deep is a warmer, deeper tone

Ease of Use: Two capfuls were easy to measure and mixed well when splashed into the stream from the running taps. Despite advice on the bottle to clean your bath after use, it did not leave the bath slippery and treacherous like some oils I have used

Pros: The spa experience at home saved a trip away and the gorgeous aromas wafted throughout the house, sparing my precious Jo Malone and Diptyque candles. I tried the Deep Relax Bath & Shower Oil on the children and managed to calm the little darlings into behaving, they were charmed by the whole experience and there was none of the usual pinching and splashing. The oils are intense enough to use less than the suggested two capfuls should you wish to prolong the life of your mini bottles

Cons: It felt slightly strange rubbing oil on my body before showering in the morning but I was soon convinced by the zing and spring it put into my step

Value for money:. A fair price, it would make a great gift
