Love Match in a Box – for Valentine’s Day
COMO Shambhala launches the perfect pairing. For Valentine’s Day 2008 COMO Shambhala has created a new Gift Box Collection comprised of 100ml HARMONY Body Oil and 10ml HARMONY Blended Essential Oil. Called ‘HARMONY: Body & Bath’, the products are presented in a small gift box with a limited edition heart-shaped coconut necklace. This latest release in the company’s Gift Box series costs £30 and is available for purchase for a limited time only via the comoshambhala website, comoshambhala.bz
The HARMONY range combines oils of sweet almond, grapeseed, vitamin E, evening primrose, ylang ylang, sandalwood and lime. Sandalwood with its deep, woody aroma has euphoric qualities, making this exotic oil renowned as an aphrodisiac. Ylang Ylang has a sweet, soft, floral scent and of all the essential oils, is one of the best at relaxing the mind and body. Uplifting lime oil is the perfect partner to complete this sensual blend.
The COMO Shambhala range of body, hair and skincare products is based on established principles of aromatherapy, using natural oils found in leaves, flowers, trees and fruits. For centuries, these oils have been used for their beneficial therapeutic properties. COMO Shambhala has built on that ancient wisdom to develop seven blends, all made of premium ingredients free from synthetic substances (including dyes or fragrances). These products are manufactured in England.
In addition to ‘HARMONY: Body & Bath’, COMO Shambhala offers many more nurturing body, hair and air care products as single items, as well as other special COMO Shambhala Gift Box Collections. From massage oil to body lotion, scented candles to the softest, moisturizing bath milk, the company has got just the thing to spoil him or her. Some are relaxing and hamonising; others are restorative and stimulating, most are nourishing to the skin and help provide a better sense of wellbeing. They are generally available as shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, shower gel, bath milk, bath salt, a body scrub and soap bar.
More About COMO Shambhala:
COMO Shambhala is not a conventional spa company; it is a way of life that embraces lifelong learning and development. The company seeks constant improvement while retaining absolute commitment to the founding principles – to create places of privacy where individuals receive the attention, therapies and advice that will help them each a better state of wellbeing. The benchmark was first set by COMO Shambhala Retreat at Parrot Cay, named on 2004 by Condé Nast Traveller magazine as Number One Spa in the world. The portfolio includes COMO’s city hotels spas, known as COMO Shambhala Urban Escapes (the Metropolitan London, and the Metropolitan Bangkok, also open to non-residents) as well as COMO Shambhala Retreats at the company’s private island resorts (Parrot Cay in the Turks & Caicos, and Cocoa Island in the Maldives) and the company’s Uma resorts (Uma Ubud in Bali, and Uma Paro in Bhutan). In 2005, the company launched its flagship, a residential retreat for health and learning, called COMO Shambhala Estate at Begawan Giri in Bali. During 2007, it was named 4th “Best Destination Spa” by Condé Nast Traveller, “Best Wellness Centre” by SpaAsia Crystal Awards, “Best Global Hotel” by the Sunday Times Travel Magazine and “Best Wellness Retreat” and “Best Spa Cuisine” by AsiaSpa Awards
