Aman’s Nourishing Sacred Heart Balm
Guests checking into Aman often find themselves cocooned in a sanctuary of calm. That very same grounding effect translates into the luxury hotel group’s debut skincare line, beautifully housed in bottles and jars designed by architect Kengo Kuma. Inspired by the elegant sinuous curves of Japanese ceramics and crafted from recyclable glass, each of the 30 products in the collection set the stage for natural ingredients such as palo santo, rare Peruvian muds, and wild-harvested Amazon butters. The Sacred Heart Balm, formulated with emollient shea and murumuru seed (extracted from a palm native to the Amazon rainforest) butters, is an exceedingly luxurious body balm fragranced with a heady mix of tuberose, frangipani, and vanilla. Perfect for those looking to hydrate and soften the skin after a hot bath.

In addition to its sleek exterior, the Dyson Supersonic 23.75 karat gold hair dryer utilises the brand’s unique air multiplier technology to allow for swift drying and styling, ensuring that her tresses are protected from heat damage.
