Forest Essentials Tranquil Sleep and Stress Relief Combo Product Review

Swathy · September 21, 2015 · 2 Comments

I got these products in my last year stay at ITC for our anniversary. Then, I checked out if these products are available in the stores as well or if they were just specially packed for the hotel. Turns out they are available on the online store here but I have no idea about the outlets.

A special mention here for the ITC guys. They had assisted Mr. P in such a wonderful and helpful manner and gave us the most amazing anniversary surprise. As such I do love ITC hotels for their hospitality and food. You must definitely try out their Kebabs and Kurries restaurant in ITC Grand Hyderabad.

Anyways, getting back to the review, I have been trying these products since then on and off. Just in case, you are still confused about the products, these are essential oil blend sprays to address stress and sleep disorder issues. So, let us check out whether they do address the issues or not!

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil is an old love. And, again this time around, I loved using it.

I love using body oils, especially in the shower itself. The steam helps the oil gets absorbed really quickly and keeps the skin really well-moisturized. I am not able to recall how I learned this trick but it works like a charm. I urge you to try it.

Still smells like roses and jasmine, the fragrance is delicate and does not hurt the nose. Neither does the fragrance lingers long enough on the skin. The delicate scent of Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil comes from essential oils than from any synthetic additives.

What I love about Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil is that it is a dry oil. The moment you spread the oil on your palms and apply it on the skin, it gets absorbed. There is no oiliness or stickiness left behind and the moisturization lasts almost 6-8 hours at the minimum.

One interesting thing to note is the change in the packaging. Earlier, I had complained about the bottle not having a stopper so this time around, they have a stopper with a cap to plug the hole in whenever you are closing the bottle to prevent leakage. I would still not call it travel-friendly or say the packaging is premium but a small improvement from before.

Definitely, the prices have risen for Kama overall in the last few years but I still feel this is a bit more reasonably priced than a few other products from the same brand. In 2015, the price of the rose jasmine body oil was Rs 795 and now it is priced at Rs 1350. Not really inexpensive but worth trying out once if you do have the budget for it.

Huh…just in case if you have been wondering where did I disappear? Well, it turns out that my life has to be on the go instead of the pre-planned I always prefer. We had to go somewhere but getting the visa took time and then tickets had just sky rocketed. And, since we had availed the leaves, we decided to go some other place for which we had to wait like 7 days to get the visa and we did not have the passports till the day we were flying. And, then, the tickets were booked on the same day and then we flew adhoc!

How was Malaysia?

I was, in fact, thinking of starting a travel diary series to document all my travels. For the interested, we do not prefer packages. We prefer to roam around the city at our own sweet pace even if we do not cover the entire place. That is a excuse to visit the place again 🙂

Anyways, Malaysia was awesome except for the extreme weather it faces. It would be really hot sunny day and the next hour it would be raining cats and dogs. I shall do a complete write-up of the trip in another post coz we had such a gala time. Honestly, we did not really go around much but we were soooooo tired from the trip!
