Introducing the signature scent for our stays and pubs in the Cotswolds, and the founding scent of our sister brand Bamford.
Our founder Carole Bamford has harboured a lifelong fascination with geraniums, drawn to their captivating scent since childhood. Fond memories of bath time linger, where she would eagerly reach for the green bottle of Floris’s Rose Geranium, infusing the house with an uplifting, mossy aroma with just a few drops. This fragrance holds a special place in her heart, evoking nostalgia and a sense of grounding, providing a reassuring comfort that endures over time.
A testament to the transformative power of botanical craftsmanship, this is far more than a fragrance. The geranium plant, with its grounding and calming properties, embodies the balance found in nature and the profound connection between plants and our well-being. It is a choice that reflects the philosophy at the heart of Bamford.
‘I have loved geraniums and pelargoniums all my life and have a collection of over 110 different varieties in the glasshouse in my garden. It’s an incredibly nostalgic fragrance for me. The smell of home, nature and family’
Bamford’s signature Geranium collection features a natural blend of essential oils, including uplifting geranium, energising eucalyptus, refreshing peppermint, and soothing lavender – all carefully chosen to elevate the mood. Geranium, a balancing botanical, is renowned for its antidepressant properties and its ability to help reduce fluid retention and puffiness in the limbs. Calming and grounding both mentally and physically, it supports a deeper sense of overall well-being.
Made locally in the UK, each product uses natural ingredients and is free from harmful ingredients such as parabens and phthalates, so you know it’s kind to your skin and the planet.
You will find the COSMOS certified Bamford toiletries across the Daylesford Stays collection in refillable aluminium bottles – as part of our Low Impact Operations principle, we have been removing all single use plastic items from our rooms and cottage and replacing with more sustainable alternatives.
Bamford is a wellness and lifestyle brand. We craft considered clothing and homeware; natural skincare, bath and body collections; and holistic spa destinations around the world. Founded on the belief that we need to live consciously and respect nature’s resources, everything we do is informed by a desire to be mindful of our footprint and create in an ethical, environmental and sustainable way.
Autumn in the Cotswolds unfolds gently. Warmth gives way to stillness, shadows lengthen and the landscape softens. Crisp air carries the faint scent of wood smoke and damp earth, villages are framed by copper beech trees, and log fires crackle…...
Rooted in nature, each wellness experience is designed to restore and realign, gently encouraging guests to slow down and reconnect.
