Bath and Body Works Lavender Vanilla Tranquil Pillow Mist Review

My first teaching job was in an inner-city middle school back in 2001.  I was 23, fresh out of college, and in a world completely different from that in which I had been raised.  I was stressed out beyond all belief.  My parents started to really worry about me when I confessed that I had lost a total of 30 pounds in three months.  My mother went out and bought me a huge basket of Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy products and a gift certificate for a massage.  The rest of the aromatherapy items are long since gone but I still have my bottle of Lavender Vanilla Tranquil Pillow Mist. 

This product is part of the BBW "Sleep" Aromatherapy line.  The lavender is supposed to promote tranquility while the vanilla soothes you.  I'm no fan of lavender fragrances but I really enjoy the scent of this spray.  Over the years my brain has designated it as something calm, comforting, and soothing.  I don't know that I'd want to use the sugar scrub or body wash and walk around smelling like this scent all day long, but it's perfect for my bedtime.

The 4 fluid ounce bottle has a pump-style dispenser that allows me to spray a fine mist of product across my pillow.  Because the fragrance is very strong, I usually spritz it onto my pillow case about a half hour before I plan to actually lay down.  When it is time for bed, my head hits the pillow and I'm enveloped in the wonderful Lavender Vanilla Tranquil Pillow Mist.  I have severe asthma and allergies but this product doesn't cause any problems in that department.

Does the aromatherapy in Bath & Body Works Lavender Vanilla Tranquil Pillow Mist really put people to sleep? Probably not.  Over the past several years, however, the scent has become a familiar friend that has a relaxing and soothing effect on my mind.  When I spray my pillow with this product, I am usually asleep within minutes. 

At $10, this product is definitely worth checking out.  It's reasonably priced, easy to find, and something that will last you for a very long time.  If you need to relax before you fall asleep, try Bath & Body Works Lavender Vanilla Tranquil Pillow Mist.
