If any of you know me at all, you will know that a nice long bath is my idea of bliss, so when the lovely PR at Olverum offered to send me out a luxurious Bath Oil, I was already planning what I could read while I soaked in the bath. For me, bath time is my chance to relax and escape the world for an hour or so, granted one of the kitties will want to be in the bathroom at the same time as me, but it is as close as I am going to get to me time.
Olverum is a unique and highly concentrated, therapeutic bath oil which contains 10 pure essential oils, carefully blended to work synergistically and they include:
- Siberian Fir Essence -
- Lavendin
- Eucalyptus
- Lemon
- Rosemary
- Exotic Verbena
- True Lavender
- Lime
- Juniper
- Geranium
Putting all of these together you can probably see why an Olverum bath is a very effective way to naturally relieve stress and help you achieve a great nights' sleep. It is also a great way to ease aching or sore muscles and is the perfect soothing antidote to a cold or flu. All with a gorgeously aromatic, unisex scent.
For many years Olverum survived by word of mouth - a cult product known in the UK to only a small number of passionate devotees. Now beautifully re-packaged, yet still retaining the same formulation loved for over eight decades, Olverum recently relaunched under new British ownership.
So how did I get on with it? A few drops of this will have your bathroom smelling like a relaxing spa without being overpowering, In fact, even when I was in my lounge grabbing my kindle whilst the bath was running, I could smell it.
The fact that this is an oil would make you think this might feel a tad greasy on the skin, but actually, it's not in the slightest. It leaves your skin feeling soft yet supple, without any grease whatsoever. My feet were aching from being on them all day and head was a tad sore from a busy journey home (Londoners, you will feel my pain!) but this made me wind down instantly and soothed my feet too. It's a bit like a massage in a bottle!
Because this is a unisex fragrance, my hubby even likes it (note to hubby - I know where it is and I will be able to tell if you've used it!) so this would even be a great Christmas gift for both Women and Men.
Olverum is a relatively affordable luxury. The 125ml size is £29.00 and will be enough for 25 baths, the 250ml size is £53 and enough for 50 baths. The travel set is £19 and enough for 9 baths. Their main stockists are Liberty, Conran, Harvey Nichols and Fenwick.
If you're like me and live for a long bath at the end of the day, this will be right up your street!
