Aromatherapy Associates x Liberty Clear Mind

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Well, this is very much the dream team! A special Aromatherapy Associates blend housed in a Liberty design team print that’s exclusive to this blend – what could be better? Well, some reference to the print on the bottle please – that would be better. Other than that, nothing. And Clear Mind could not be more appropriate right now. I’m already a big fan of this brand – it’s brought me nothing but joy over the years and it’s my go-to gift for friends in times of difficulty. We all know that a bath oil doesn’t change circumstance but it gives a space for reflection and attention by creating a comforting and safe olfactory environment.

Clear Mind is one of Geraldine’s original blends and is exclusive to Liberty (and briefly, Aromatherapy Associates own site). It comprises frankincense, bergamot, chamomile and lavender – I am not much of a chamomile fan but in this blend it feels grounding rather than grating. Also, while I remember, anyone notice how much an AA bottle looks like a CHANEL No5 bottle? No wonder I’m like a moth to a flame :-))

There’s also a roller ball option with the same beautiful packaging – I think it’s a better option if you are a shower person rather than a bath person. I’m convinced that you don’t get the same benefit from using the oil in a shower as you do surrounded by warm water and stillness in a bath. Just apply the roller ball after your shower and then anytime throughout the day. While I was traveling the other day I saw a woman with a toddler on the bus and she was sitting with her eyes closed smelling a bottle of aromatherapy oil. She was so fixed in the moment with her child safely tucked beside her and while I don’t know her circumstances, I’ve never felt more like giving someone a hug (and I’m very much not a hugger) and a bit of reassurance to ride it out – there is another side and you’ll get there. If I’d have had the roller ball on me at the time I would have given it to her there an then.

So, looking at the options, Liberty has an offer for a ‘gift’ of £210 when you spend £150 (this stuff lasts so if you have gifts to buy that hit the £50 mark, two gifts and one for yourself and that is done) containing Trish McEvoy Essential Lip Balm in Gorgeous Pink 2.8g, Zelens 3T Anti-Ageing Cream 15ml, OTO 10% CBD Sleep Drops 15ml, Noble Isle Summer Rising Body Lotion 30ml, Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Cell Repair Night Oil 30ml, (MALIN + GOETZ) Rum Body Wash 30ml, Claus Porto Banho Mini Soap 30g, NEOM Organics Scented Candle (Travel) in Happiness 75g. That’s HERE. On the Aromatherapy Associates site you get a free gift of Deep Relax Body Butter, Roller Ball and Bath Oil – all small sizes with a value of £46 and it needs to be a £6o spend – which means a roller ball and an oil (or, obviously, anything to the value of £60). That is HERE.
