Signature blends

Little rituals, mixed by hand

Alex blends every bottle herself in Bolsover, working with pure essential oils in a skin-kind base of sweet almond, marula and vitamin E. Each blend is built around a moment: winding down of an evening, gathering yourself for the day, or simply having five minutes that belong to you.

And yes, the names are in proper Derbyshire. If you've ever been told to calm thi'sen, you'll feel right at home.

How to choose your blend

Start with the moment

Rather than choosing by ingredient, choose by when you'll use it: bedtime wind-downs, slow mornings, or aching-legs evenings after the garden.

Trust your nose

The right blend is the one you find lovely. If you're torn, the aroma notes on each card will point you towards florals, citrus or something deeper.

Or just ask

Tell Alex what you like and what you'd use it for, and she'll happily recommend one, or blend with you in mind.
