At the end of the day, lying in bed, letting go of all burdens, there’s no need to ponder over stressful and bothersome matters. It’s the time to completely empty the mind, let thoughts wander aimlessly with feelings, gradually entering the realm of sleep. From lying down in bed to the blank space before dreaming, it’s the most enjoyable time of my day.
This moment feels incomplete without the company of a soothing perfume. Choosing a comforting perfume to spray on the pillow and adorn the room not only pleases the mood but also alleviates anxiety, allowing the mind, tired from the day’s tensions, to relax. It’s also a great aid for those struggling with insomnia.
While perfume preferences vary, not all perfumes are suitable for bedtime. Some perfumes are as fiery and exotic as a belly dancer, causing a noisy disturbance. Others may be cold and rigid, reminiscent of a distant and indifferent crush, inducing melancholy. Some perfumes smell like a delicious cake, making you hungrier with each whiff, and risking a calorie intake if not careful.
Apart from the mentioned unpleasant emotional triggers, key words for selecting bedtime perfumes include: comfort, relaxation, peace of mind, tranquility, and gentleness. Examples include soft soap scents, white musk, vanilla, and gentle fragrances like sandalwood, incense, and lavender, which are excellent choices for sleep aids.
