Softer skin, time for yourself
Exfoliation removes dead surface skin cells for a softer feel. A body wrap adds a resting period with a product chosen for your skin. Textures, scents and quiet combine into a sensory pause.

Choose the scent of your treatment.
Each Altearah colour is a guide to a different essential oil blend and scent. For exfoliation, body wraps and bespoke massage, choose a colour below to discover its character. At the spa, we invite you to smell the blends: your preferences help us personalise your treatment.
Why smell a scent before your treatment?
Smelling is already a sensory experience: a familiar scent can bring back a memory or an emotion. During our body treatments, this discovery helps us understand what feels pleasant to you today. We combine it with your wishes for touch, pressure and comfort.
The colour suggests an emotional intention; the scent helps you explore it. There is no right answer and no need to decide online: we guide you at the spa.
Smell, emotions and the history of plants
Scent molecules stimulate receptors in the nose, which send signals to the brain. Smell is connected with systems involved in memory and emotion. Our response depends on our experiences and preferences: the same scent does not feel the same to everyone.
Plants have a long place in the history of care. Kew researchers study plant-based remedies recorded in Byzantine pharmacy texts, from late antiquity to the Middle Ages. This heritage tells a history of knowledge; it does not establish the effectiveness of today’s essential oil blends.
Here, we seek sensory pleasure, comfort and relaxation. Colour names such as “Repair” or “Energy” are Altearah’s emotional themes, not medical outcomes. Effects on mood and physical health cannot be guaranteed for each blend.
