A simple gesture, a sensory ritual that invites you to relax and prepares you for sweet, restful nights... Sound good?
In our constant quest for well-being and restful sleep, we often explore many possibilities: ergonomic mattresses, total darkness, soothing herbal teas, turning off screens before bedtime... That's great! But have you ever thought about a simple, subtle, yet highly effective gesture: pillow mist?
Much more than just a room fragrance, pillow mist is an invitation to let go, an olfactory preparation for sleep. Let's take a closer look at this ritual that is winning over more and more hearts.
What is a pillow mist?

A pillow mist is a light solution, usually water-based or made from hydrosols, enriched with essential oils or fragrances with relaxing and soothing properties. It is designed to be sprayed directly onto your pillow, bedding, or even into the air in your bedroom before you go to sleep.
The unexpected benefits of pillow mists
The effectiveness of pillow mists is mainly based on the power of aromatherapy. When inhaled, essential oils act directly on our limbic system, the seat of our emotions and memory, thereby influencing our state of relaxation.
Here are some examples of the benefits you can enjoy:
* Promotes sleep: Soothing scents signal to your brain that it's time to slow down and prepare for sleep.
* Improves sleep quality: A pleasant and relaxing olfactory environment can help reduce nighttime awakenings and promote deeper, more restful sleep.
* Reduces stress and anxiety: Certain essential oils are known for their anxiolytic and calming properties, ideal for relieving tension accumulated during the day.
* Creates a bedtime ritual: Incorporating pillow mist into your evening routine can help create a smooth transition from activity to rest, conditioning your body and mind for sleep.
* Delicately scents your bedding: As an added bonus, your bedroom and sheets will smell wonderful!
Which fragrances should be chosen?
Each bottle offers different scents depending on the fragrances and essential oils used.
With their warm, precious, fresh, floral, fruity, or subtle notes, each of these mists creates a pleasant atmosphere conducive to sleep.
A true promise of peaceful nights.

For quality sleep, the most beneficial scents are:
Orange blossom, bergamot, and lemon, known for their soothing and relaxing properties.
Sandalwood, amber, vanilla, and musk have warmer, more comforting notes that create a cocoon of softness.
Choose, for example, the orange blossom pillow mist with citrus notes, or the Rêve de Lin pillow mist with its sweet summer scents. The Ambre Intense pillow mist, with its warmer, woodier notes, envelops your bedding in a deep and refined olfactory cocoon.
The Nuit Apaisante pillow mist delivers fresh and tender notes to envelop your sheets in a delicate and relaxing fragrance.

Of course, the undisputed star remains the lavender pillow mist!
Renowned for its calming, anxiolytic, and sedative properties, Lavande Altitude pillow mist or Récolte de la Lavande pillow mist brings you a feeling of well-being and relaxation and helps you fall asleep.
In fact, simply inhaling lavender before bedtime helps slow down brain activity, making it easier to fall asleep. This mechanism acts as a natural signal to prepare the body for sleep.
Extremely easy to use!
*Just before bedtime, 5 to 10 minutes before slipping under the covers.
*Spray from a distance, holding the bottle about 20-30 cm away from your pillow.
*2 to 3 sprays are usually more than enough. You can also spray it on the top sheet or your pajamas.
*Breathe deeply... lie down, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to soak up the aromas.
Make your own pillow mist
If you are a fan of DIY, creating your own pillow mist is a breeze and allows you to control the quality of the ingredients:
