Aromaflex is an aromatherapy shop at 280 Trafalgar Street in The Brook, Nelson, and has been trading since 1995. It sells essential oils, hydrosols, cold-pressed carrier oils, skincare and natural remedies, and it also makes its own blends. Roll-ons, sprays and inhalers are sold alongside the oils. The shop says it works with locally grown botanicals and certified organic or naturally derived ingredients, and it encourages customers to bring bottles back for refills. It also offers expert advice on choosing an essential oil, including why chemotype matters.
Customers say the staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and several praise the personal skin consultations, where a blend is made up for the customer's own skin. One customer says a facial oil made a clear difference to oily skin over about a year and a half, and another says a muscle blend eases tension over time. Others mention the shop's beard oils, the Cellulite Blend and the Detoxifying Blend. Customers describe the shop as a calm place with a wide range of scents, and say it always smells good inside. The shop's phone number is 03 545 6217.
