Just curious.
Do you wear fragrance to sleep? If so, which one(s)?
Not intentionally, but I love the cleanliness of Infusion d'Iris (2015) Eau de Parfum (always, but also when hopping into bed
)
A cheapy: Tosca Eau de Parfum is also lovely for bedtime, but more in a soapy way. Asif you just have taken a shower or bath as a kid and been watching TV with your hair still wet
I think I would choose the current (not in database) edt though, it's a bit softer and fluffy than the edp. Really comforting scent.
I can imagine Jicky Eau de Parfum to be great for bedtime too because of the aromatic feel and because of the lavender, never tried that though.
Not intentionally, no. The closest thing that might happen – is whichever perfume I'm testing in the evening ends up lasting way longer than I expect it to. But otherwise no. My nose has to smell stuff all day long already. Sleep is the time when it should be allowed to finally relax and recharge. Feels rude to take that away from it and force it to work overtime for no good reason
I enjoy this guilty habit sometimes and I generally reach for chypres, because I feel that they tell an interesting story that puts me in the mood for dreaming. I love Le Sillage Blanc and
II-IV Kintsugi for this.
Sometimes Pour Rêver (2024) which literally means "to dream"
Lately I’ve been dabbing on either Insolence Eau de Toilette,
Tragedy, or
The Pink Bedroom before bed. But I also really like layering
Narciso Eau de Parfum Rouge with
Narciso Eau de Parfum Poudrée
I try to give my nose a break, but if whatever I had on for the day is still going strong I will sometimes temper it with a spray of Radical Softness over the top
I often wear my good vintage parfums to bed: Shalimar, Miss Balmain, Ma Griffe. Comforting, and a good way to use them up before they age out.
Yes, fragrances can help me to sleep and I enjoy sniffing them right before falling asleep. I mostly wear the same fragrance as before the same day and I just respray a fresh spray before going to bed. Or if I have showered just before bed, then I select a new fragrance that I will wear most likely the next day also.
