When it comes to nighttime rituals, there's something personal about a scent that wraps around you as you drift off to sleep. Whether it's setting the mood or simply enjoying your own scent bubble, bedtime perfumes can be soft, flirty, or just fun. These are scents I reserve solely for bedtime.
Musk 12 by Kayali
Soft Sheets
You know that feeling of slipping into fresh, soft sheets after a long day? That's Musk 12. While it's designed to be layered, I save this comforting scent for bed. With its gentle musk and cozy vanilla, it's a perfect "your skin, but better" scent that's light, inoffensive and draws people in just a little closer. Cuddle-worthy perfume.
Toy 2 Bubble Gum by Moschino
Playful Energy
She's fun, playful, and always up for a good time. Toy 2 starts as a powdery, fruity, floral scent, and then the wood slides in. Cedarwood and ambroxan sneak in to tame the bubblegum, making it playful but grown up. This is just what you need to add a pop of fun to your bedtime routine.
Idole Aura by Lancome
Sweet Sweat
On a casual shopping trip, my guy mentioned this perfume was his favorite out of the many we sampled, so naturally it came home with us. The salty sweet blend of vanilla and rose mixed with skin, give me a sweet sweaty sultry vibe. Idole Aura projects and lasts all night long.
Bois Dore by Van Cleef & Arpels
A Happy Nut
Almonds are one of my favorite notes, and Bois Dore gives them the spotlight they deserve. It opens with mineral notes, but climaxes with almonds and tonka dripping in vanilla. It's like a sweet, smooth finish (not synthetic) that feels comforting without ever being too much.
Libre EDT by YSL
Refreshing Splash
Sometimes you need a cool breeze. When I'm hot, and craving something fresh to help me cool down, Libre EDT delivers. With jasmine tea notes and relaxing lavender, it's like a refreshing splash as I drift off to sleep.
Honorable Mentions
If I'm not wearing one of the mentioned perfumes to bed, I'm either wearing a perfume sample, testing a scent layer, or wearing a favorite. What's your go-to bedtime scent? Do you have a select few that never leave the house, too? Let us know in the comments.
