"After a little research, I arrived at just the thing: the French tradition of wearing perfume to bed. Although not explicitly shown in the show, I can totally see Emily learning about the practice and eagerly trying it out for herself.I fell in love with the idea of embodying the French chic lifestyle, too - so, naturally, I decided to try it out for myself. Here's how I did it and how it impacted my nighttime routine."
"Here's how you do this French sleep hack: After you finish up with your skincare, grab your fragrance of choice and spritz it a few times on your skin. You should use a fragrance you don't wear during the day, or dedicate a fragrance as your bedtime scent. A specific bedtime scent will help your body differentiate between night and day, or so the thinking goes, so you might want to choose a fragrance with notes that help soothe you, like lavender, bergamot, or chamomile."
Wearing a dedicated bedtime perfume involves spritzing a chosen fragrance on the skin after completing skincare and reserving a scent distinct from daytime wear. Selecting soothing notes such as lavender, bergamot, or chamomile leverages aromatherapy principles to reduce stress and encourage relaxation. A consistent nighttime scent can help the body differentiate day from night by creating a sensory cue associated with sleep. The practice aligns with long-standing French fragrance traditions and can refresh a nighttime routine by offering a calming, deliberate transition into rest without major behavioral changes.
