Tisserand Gift Ideas

Tisserand has been one of my favourite brands this year and last year too when I was first introduced to them; I'm always using the bath oils as they are so indulgent and even though they aren't as interesting as bath bombs, they are much more moisturising! Tisserand have just released a new bath and body collection, all of which looks heavenly and perfect for Christmas.

*Lavender & White Mint Hand Wash (£7.95, 195ml)

Lavender is one of my favourite scents, for anything, as it's so incredibly relaxing and calming to me! So anything that contains lavender and I'm all over it; this lovely hand wash also contains white mint, aloe vera, comfrey and chamomile. The hand wash smells heavenly, it's a gorgeous lavender scent but I don't really get any mint but that's fine with me as the more lavender the better. It lathers well, doesn't strip the skin and it doesn't irritate my eczema which some hand washes can do.

*Rose & Geranium Leaf Soap (£4.50, 100g)

Geranium is another favourite of mine, well I'm a fan of anything floral really and again this is another Tisserand product that smells divine - all of them do! The soap contains almond oil and pure essential oils to cleanse and also moisturise. It has Tisserand embossed on the front and it smells subtle but gorgeous. I think any of these products would make perfect additions to a present hamper or as a stocking filler.

*Tisserand Peaceful Night Set (£9.95)

I love any products that contain lavender and also products that are supposed to help you sleep (even though most don't really work but these definitely help) as I'll try anything and they usually smell comforting and calming. This set contains the Sweet Dreams Bath Oil, Sweet Dreams Rollerball and the Sweet Dreams Body Oil, all of which are mini sizes so they'd be great as trial sizes for people who haven't tried the brand before and for those who travel.

I have the full size of the Sweet Dreams Bath Oil (30ml) which is just heavenly and the Sweet Dreams Bath Oil (30ml) that contains jojoba seed oil, lavender, jasmine flower oil, bergamot peel oil and so many more lovely, natural ingredients. Unlike most body oils I've tried, this one absorbs really quickly and it leaves the skin smooth, moisturised and subtly scented - my only negative is that I wish the scent lasted longer on the skin although that's where the Sweet Dreams Rollerball comes in. The Sweet Dreams Rollerball has the same gorgeous scent but in a quick and portable format that's perfect to use on the pulse points before bed and on the go but again I wish the scent was a little stronger/longer lasting.

*Tisserand Neroli & Sandalwood Body Wash (£9.95, 200ml)

You can't go wrong with anything from Tisserand as not only are the products natural and effective but they all smell heavenly and this is no exception. When I look for certain scents in perfumes or products, lavender, neroli and sandalwood are all options I look out for. It also contains chamomile, ginseng and vitamin E. The scent is floral and musky, it's a perfect autumn/winter scent and it makes me feel relaxed every time I use it! As with the hand wash, it leathers well but it doesn't dry out the skin or irritate.

*Tisserand Rose & Geranium Hand Cream (£7.95, 75ml)

There are quite a few products in this Rose & Geranium scent range including this gorgeous hand cream. I use hand cream multiple times per day as I have dry skin anyway but I also have eczema on my hands *cries* and hand creams definitely help to keep my hands feeling comfortable. The hand cream contains shea butter, jojoba and aloe vera to moisturise, smooth and soothe the skin.

Overall, I'm so happy with all of the products I've been able to try from Tisserand and I couldn't recommend them enough either for yourself or as a Christmas gift. None of the products irritate my sensitive, eczema prone skin and they all smell wonderful - they're presented beautifully too. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5!

Introducing Tisserand Candles + Bath Products

Tisserand is a brand that I've seen on social media recently and their products always look great so when this package arrived I was excited to give these products a go! Tisserand use 100% pure and natural essential oils extracted from flowers, trees and fruit in their products. They have a wide range of aromatherapy products as well as a collection inspired by the National Trust. 

First up, one of my favourite product categories - candles! The *Tisserand Rose Garden Candle (£15, 140g) which is one of the products from the range inspired by the National Trust. The outer packaging is so pretty and it would make a lovely gift for candle lovers, like me! The scent is a sweet and slightly powdery rose fragrance but it isn't cloying, overpowering or headache inducing - it is a subtle floral scent that really refreshes a room. The candle burns fairly evenly, the scent throw is pretty good considering the scent is quite subtle (although still very noticeable) and I think this candle will last for a long time. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5. 

The product I was most excited to try was the *Tisserand Sweet Dreams Bath Oil (£10.95, 100ml), not only because the packaging is gorgeous and I love bath oils but because the product contains lavender, sandalwood and jasmine which are my favourite relaxing and calming scents. The bath oil smells heavenly, it is such as relaxing and calming scent. I've used it a few times now and it definitely helps me relax and get to sleep quicker, it even produces a few bubbles which is rare for a bath oil. It leaves my skin soft and very lightly scented. I know I will be getting SO much use of it especially with autumn and winter on the horizon. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5. 

Lastly, the *Tisserand Muscle Ease Body Oil (£9.95, 100ml) which contains ginger, lemongrass and rosemary as well as nourishing vitamins and jojoba. Now, I have to be honest and say that lemongrass isn't my favourite scent however this oil does smell lovely. The oil comes with a pump dispenser, it is quick and easy to use and it leaves the skin so smooth and soft; it also seems to help tight and tired muscles. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5. 

Overall, I'm really impressed with not only the packaging and gorgeous scents but the effectiveness of the products I've tried. The sweet dreams bath oil is heavenly and I know I will get so much use out of it as well as the candle. There are so many gorgeous products and gift sets from Tisserand that would be perfect for christmas!
