But what’s the best way to get your chosen dream scent into the bedroom? Here, too, there are numerous possibilities:

A potpourri, for example, ensures a delicate, long-lasting scent in the bedroom and without any effort at all. The only important thing is that you place the scent mixture on a base. If the blend is not too intense, the nightstand or side stools are ideal for placing next to the bed. For more intense blends, we recommend rather the windowsill, so you create, with the window open, a pleasantly fragrant breeze.

Scent glasses and diffusers also provide good air virtually on their own: with the scent glass, you dose the appropriate scent strength with a flick of the wrist by opening and closing the lid. With a diffuser, you can precisely adjust how intense you want the cloud of fragrance to be that gently transports you to the land of dreams.

Scented sachets are also ideal as a sleep aid. You can easily make them yourself with lavender blossoms, rose petals or orange peels. Simply place the scented sachet under the pillow of your box spring or upholstered bed and it will help you sleep better and deeper. You can also use the fragrance sachets in your bedside storage, so the things stored there will get a pleasant scent.

Another option for bedroom fragrancing are essential oils. These are available from various manufacturers and suppliers in high quality. Here it is particularly important to pay attention to the correct dosage – because the pure essential oils can irritate the skin and respiratory tract. Here’s how you can use them:

• Place a bowl of lukewarm water in your bedroom. Add about 5 to 10 drops of the essential oil of your choice and let the gentle, soothing scent help you doze off. If this does not produce the relaxing, sleep-promoting effect you desire, you can choose a higher dosage.
• You can also sprinkle a commercially available paper handkerchief with about 4 to 5 drops of essential oil and place it in a bowl on the bedside table to gently relax and fall asleep.
