Bathtime just got a little more relaxing with these Amphora Aromatics Aroma Salts

August 11, 2013 Paris B 14 Comments

I must confess to having a soft spot for essential oils and aromatherapy, no mater how much of a mumbo-jumbo they can be at times. As far as I’m concerned, if it smells good to me and makes me feel comfortable and happy, it works! I’m quite sure many of you feel that way.

I also confess to a secret pleasure in having a bath. A proper luxurious bath, scented with calming essential oils and sprinkled with bath salts to soften the water, and no one to disturb. Just precious me-time. What wouldn’t I give to have a tub at home! If I did, I could luxuriate with these Aroma Salts from Amphora Aromatics more often than I currently do.

I was sent these 2 tubs of Aroma Salts by NattaCosme, an online beauty shopping site that stocks this brand, amongst other more well-known cosmetics brands and products.

I found these intriguing despite not having a bathtub at home, because according to the blurb on the cover, these can also be used as room fresheners. Just open the cover of the tub, and allow the scent from the essential oil infused dead sea salts to waft through the room.

I was having a lot of trouble sleeping at this time and I thought something that said Goodnight Sleeptight would do the trick. With lavender and chamomile infusing the bath salts, what could go wrong? Nothing, I’d warrant.

Unfortunately, it was wrong for me. The smell of Goodnight Sleeptight is a very sharp smell that wasn’t very pleasant, nor very relaxing. It even made me feel a little nauseous so I got back up in the middle of the night to shut the tub and stick it in a corner of my cupboard. But there was a saving grace! (Thankfully!)

Toss some into hot bath water and it is absolutely wonderful! I don’t know what really happens, but the smell that wafts up from the steaming tub is wonderful, losing that sharp metallic edge, and rounding down to a softer, very comforting scent.

I recently took this with me to a hotel with a bathtub and spent a wonderful time soaking in tub, buffeted by the warmth of the water and the lovely smell of the Goodnight Sleeptight Aroma Salts. It was a good way to relax and unwind after a long day, and a nice way to prep yourself for bed.

Dead Sea Salts are well known for their curative properties and a good soak in a tub with bath salts added, helps you relax and is even supposed to be good for the skin. Bath salts also helps soften hard water and makes it more beneficial for our skin and you may notice that when you step out of a bath infused with bath salts, your skin feels smoother and softer.

I did notice this with these Aroma Salts. However, I was a little perturbed that there was no instruction on how much product I should use. I later learned that 1-2 handfuls would be sufficient but I erm… used a little more than needed LOL! I poured about 1/3 of the tub into the bath which might explain why I found it so relaxing haha! 😀

The other scent I have is Room Fresh which is the same dead sea salts soaked with Bergamot and Grapefruit. This too can serve as a room freshener and if I sniff closely, has a sharp fresh scent of bergamot and citrus. A little sharp, just like the lavender one.

Again, putting this in a tub of hot bath water softens the scent and releases the warmer smell of bergamot. It smelled like tea! When I drink tea, I take Earl Grey and that one is heavily flavoured with bergamot. Relaxing yet refreshing, and leaves the bathroom smelling wonderful!

I don’t have a tub at home yet, so my use of these as bath salts are now pretty much restricted to hotels. However, realising how lovely they smell in hot water, I’m going to put some into water in an oil burner and use it to freshen up my rooms. I think that would work! 🙂

In a nutshell

Amphora Aromatics Aroma Salts are essential oil infused dead sea salts for use as a room freshener (just open the lid), bath salts (add 1-2 handfuls into a hot bath) or a room fragrance (add a little into water in an oil burner). The 2 scents I have smell very sharp on their own, so I did not like to use them as is. In a tub of hot bath water, it is glorious. The scent is soft and comforting and the salts seem to make the water feel so much softer. It made for a wonderful, relaxing me-time and if you have a tub (or know you’ll have access to a bathtub e.g. hotels) you’ll love this.

Pros: In bath water the smell is soft and comforting and fills the bathroom, Bath water feels softer and skin feels softer and smoother after use

Cons: A little pricey, As a room freshener used as is I found the scent a little too sharp for my senses

Who will like this: Anyone who enjoys a lovely relaxing essential oil scented hot bath

I wish I had a tub 😛

Do you enjoy taking long baths? Have you used bath salts and do you find any benefits using them?

I do enjoy the occasional bath, although the thought of owning a bath tub daunts me. The cleaning would be horrifying 😛 Still, who knows. Perhaps I might warm up to the idea after all 😉

    I like baths – I like most of the Lush Bath Ballistics (some are just too sneeze-inducing for me). I actually clean it every week, even if I don’t use it (it’s just too cold for a bath at the moment) and don’t find it too bad, probably because it’s separate to the shower and easier to get to. I haven’t used many bath salts though – must look because with some of the Lush things, you need to clean the bath straight after to remove glitter/confetti which takes away some of the pleasure!

      Someone gave me a pink Lush bath bomb once. I put it into the water and it turned a lurid pink. I didn’t dare step in 😛 When I did, I had the feeling that my skin felt itchy thereafter. Could just be my imagination but yeah, I was quite put off by the very popular Lush bath bombs thereafter 😛

    I love baths. If i had the luxury of time I would take one every night. And you’re right, it’s wonderfully relaxing. Bring in a thrash may, slap on a mask, light some candles and get some jazz going. Oh and some wonderful bath salts is a must. Hope you get a tub soon! 😉

      I’m sure you could take one every night if you wanted, but your water bill would be sky high 😛

      Haha!! Hotel beds (the good ones) are so nice aren’t they? Can never get them as nice for the home. Well, actually can, but who wants to spend that much time making the bed eh? 😛

    I love long baths because it is such a luxury pampering time. Often I take business trips for granted, the ones where you occassionally get checked into lovely 5 star hotels. I remember scrambling a few times just before my trips to buy some bath salts or those super bubble bath foam…no luck. These 2 aroma salts that you have here look great! Haha, I can understand the part where they smell not so great in the jar but turns out well in the shower. Thank goodness they smell great when in contact with water. Haha, magical things happen.

      Ah hotel baths are seriously the best (especially those in the nice hotels) because you know you can enjoy all of the fun and non of the cleaning up! HAHA 😀 I love it. Used to take bubble baths all the time and leave the mess behind. Oops! 😛

    If you don’t have a bathtub at home, my suggestion is to use them as foot baths instead 😀 use a tub/container that’s big enough to fit your feet comfortably then pour in hot/warm water depending on the temperature you want. Put in the bath salts and you’ll get a pretty relaxing foot bath 😛 it’s pretty comfortable especially after a long day of walking!

      Mmm good idea Saphy! I don’t walk a lot since I’m a lazy bum back here but it’ll be a nice way to relax 😀

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.
