There’s plenty of hype around morning routines - early alarms, protein-packed smoothies, screen-free rituals - but the real secret to next-day clarity starts the night before. A wind-down routine tells your body it’s safe to slow down. Because when it comes to waking up well, nothing beats a good night’s sleep.
The hour or so before bed is a golden window to downshift your nervous system and ease into rest. A great night routine isn’t about doing more - it’s about doing less, with purpose. That’s why we created Alchemy Relax – our most calming, zen-inducing blend, designed not just to scent your space, but to elevate your entire PM rhythm.
How to Sleep Better
Experts agree that carving out even 30–60 minutes of wind-down time before bed can drastically improve sleep quality. It’s all about reducing stimulation, regulating cortisol levels, and dialling down your nervous system.
Instead of a screen, reach for a book. Swap harsh and overhead lights for dim lamps or candles. And layer in a sensory cue - like scent - that signals to your body that it's time to slow down. The notes in our calming Alchemy Relax blend, like Lavender, Sage, and Geranium aren’t just relaxing aromas; they’ve been shown in clinical studies to reduce stress, regulate mood, and support more restorative sleep.
The Science of Sleep
Relax is not your typical bliss-out blend. Harnessing the Science DreamScentz™ technology, and informed by over 3,000 hours of sleep research, Lavender and Geranium promote calm, while Sage brings grounding clarity. Together, they create a scent that is quite literally dreamy (and dream-inducing) to help optimise your sleep.
Layer in the Benefits
We’ve made Alchemy Relax in four flexible formats, so you can tailor the experience to your evening flow. Use the Soy Candle to cast a soft, calming light and fill the room with tranquility while you wind-down. Leave the Fragrance Diffuser by the bed or in a cosy corner to keep the space softly scented throughout the night. To keep the fragrance closer, apply the Roller Ball Scent Oil to pulse points - like wrists, inner elbows or behind the ears - where the skin is naturally warmer. That warmth helps diffuse the fragrance, amplifying its aromatherapeutic benefits.
Unlike traditional spray perfumes (which often contain alcohol and fade fast), this oil-based formula lingers longer without drying the skin. Or mist the Room and Linen Spray over your pillows and blankets just before bedtime to optimise your slumber.
