Which scents are suitable for the bedroom?
Short answer: Soft, warm, and unobtrusive scents are ideal for the bedroom. Lavender, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, and subtle woody notes are particularly suitable.
Choosing bedroom scents mindfully
In the bedroom, a scent should provide a calming background without dominating. Scents that are too intense, overly fresh, or very sweet can quickly become overpowering. Soft fragrance notes, on the other hand, create a calm, inviting atmosphere.

- Lavender: soft and classically relaxing
