Ånd Fragrance X The Craftivist Collective

In a fast-paced world, cultivating physical spaces that encourage us to move from emotion-led reaction towards compassionate reflection and strategic thought is essential for being an effective, engaged citizen.

That’s why we’ve collaborated with The Craftivist Collective to create this calming, refreshing room scent.

Soothing lavender blends with sweet floral jasmine and ylang ylang to ease the mind while citrus-fresh green mandarin and lemon myrtle will keep our heart open and engaged. Reassuring sandalwood and tonka ground us in the space, creating the safe and comforting environment for our compassionate crafterthoughts to emerge.

Spray the air before your gentle craftivism session to help you create an empowering environment to stitch and think deeply about how you can be a compassionate and effective changemaker.

The Craftivist Collective

Since its creation in 2009, the award winning Craftivist Collective has helped change laws, policies, hearts and minds around the world. Using the process of handicrafts, we’re able to engage in mindful and critical thinking, creating beautiful objects that serve as catalysts for tangible positive change.

Not only do we engage our hands, we also engage our heart and head. Capturing our reflections - or ‘crafterthoughts’ - is a key part of considering how we challenge injustice and harm through the values of love, kindness and humility.

The more thoughtfully prepared the environment is, the more likely it is to create a fruitful place for people to delve deeply into the issues concerned. In turn, we come to realise how we can be effective and empathetic active citizens, and be part of the change we wish to see in our world.

Enter the Crafterthoughts room scent: an inspiring and grounding accompaniment to our personal and collective reflections about how to we can help make the world a more beautiful kind and fair place for all. The founder of The Craftivist Collective, Sarah P Corbett, has used perfumes in her gentle craftivism workshops and events across the globe for many years. A chance meeting with And’s founder, Simon, led to the creation of our bespoke room scent to help keep your space fresh and fragrant so you can focus on how you can help our world flourish.
