Deep Sleep Functional Fragrance
Lavender, Camomile and Vetivert create a calming, powerful fragrance that helped 97% of users in our clinical study sleep better.*
Our Functional Fragrance blend has been shown to prepare you for sleep, dispel anxiety and improve restorative sleep.
Aside from smelling luxuriously inviting, our Deep Sleep Functional Fragrance interacts with the limbic system — the area of the brain associated with emotions, pleasure and calmness — when tested in an fMRI study in 2017, which indicated that the fragrance has the potential to encourage a pre-disposition towards sleep.

Studies, testing our pillow spray vs a placebo on 200 male and female panelists with mild sleep anxiety, found that using deep sleep pillow spray before bedtime helped them fall asleep faster, enjoy a deeper sleep, feel less anxious before sleep and less tired in the morning (and throughout the day).
Results from our 2014 study* showed 97% of deep sleep pillow spray users said they slept better than normal, 98% were more refreshed come morning and 100% said they’d recommend it to a friend.

Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender Essential Oil lies at the heart of our clinically tested Deep Sleep Functional Fragrance. Known for its calming, stress-reducing properties, Lavender helps promote relaxation, reduce anxiey, and improve sleep quality.
Lavender Essential Oil, the key ingredient in our Deep Sleep Functional Fragrance, is rich in terpenes, particularly linalool (approximately 30-55%) and linalyl acetate (20-45%). Terpenes are natural compounds found in essential oils that contribute to the aroma and therapeutic effects of plants. Linalool and linalyl acetate are known for their calming, anxiolytic properties, which help promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. These terpenes work with the central nervous system to improve sleep quality, alleviate stress, and support overall well-being.
Verivert Essential Oil
Grounding and calming essential oil to promote rest and relaxation.
Vetivert oil is known for its grounding and calming properties, helping to relax the mind and ease feelings of stress. Sometimes referred to as the oil of tranquility, this deeply soothing oil supports mental clarity while creating a peaceful environment to help you rest and restore.
"Sent me off into a deep sleep quickly, I woke up feeling really calm and relaxed."
