Air Touch

The story of Air

Air Touch makes space. That's the first thing I notice when I put it on: a deep sigh comes all by itself, and afterwards there's more air. In my chest, in my head, in my day. It feels like freedom.

There's a line that goes with this scent, one I often tell myself: it's fine as it is, as long as you keep breathing and stay with yourself. In a full moment you can't solve everything. You can always breathe. A deep sigh is your body's own way of catching its breath: a full breath in, a long breath out, and your shoulders drop a little. That's exactly what you practise with the breathing music too, where your out-breath is always longer than your in-breath.

Air Touch contains eight oils: Laurel Leaf, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Lemon, Cardamom, Ravintsara and Ravensara. Laurel leaf, ravintsara and ravensara come from the same plant family and give it that green, spicy freshness. In America this blend is called Breathe; in Europe it's Air. Same formula.

On your skin, Peppermint and Eucalyptus give a cool, fresh feeling. Eucalyptus is rich in 1,8-cineole, the compound behind that clear, open scent you recognise straight away. Lovely rolled onto your chest, the back of your neck or between your shoulder blades.
