  • Calm scents

    Lavender, chamomile, sandalwood and vetiver are soft and quiet. Keep bright citrus for the morning.

  • Safe for fabric

    Look for linen-safe on the label, and test a corner of the pillowcase first. Some oils can mark silk.

  • A fine mist

    A fine mist spreads evenly and dries fast, so the pillow isn't damp when you lie down.
